The walled town is quaintly charming, easily walkable, and the apartment is very central to the beaches, restos and shops. Owners Violaine and her husband are welcoming and helpful, pointing out scenic walks, historic landmarks and recommending a walk out to the fortress islands during low tide.The building dates from the early 17th century and as expected, shows its age. The apartment also, with its sloped floors and a somewhat polygon shaped entry door. I did not expect shiny and new, so I wasn't disappointed. A nice bonus was the enclosed courtyard where I had a designated table and chairs to relax with a coffee or glass of wine.
