The cottages, with their splendid exposed beams and stone walls, all add to the character of Domaine des Granges. 

Our properties were designed for the gregarious by nature and as "flies on the wall" we have observed with great pleasure the forming and cementing of numerous friendships over the odd glass of wine or three, while children of all ages meet new friends in the games room.
