L'Insolite, expérience safari chic à Saumur

😊: The room brings you back in the Indiana Jones movies and all those 1800 early 1900 movies and period. The apartment is i the addict of a house, it has two rooms and . It has a free public parking space (there are several in front of the building)- As it was a free day/national day we did not care about if we need to pay for the parking.... Out of the pictures you can see it is a special kind of apartment, but once you actually open it you enter the mesmerizing world that was prepared for you! A lot of antiques (from coins, old books, old type writers, even an old BB gun to furniture all is amazing). But then you have a modern kitchen with all the up to date devices (philips sense coffee machine, oven, washing machine, etc) all blended in such a way that you are still transported back in time but with the 2025 devices. Cool! . WIFI working, TV working , very modern kitchen. A family with 2 kids spent here 2-3 hours discovering the apartment, taking cool pictures. The idea of the apartment is that of an 1800 explorer tent in the middle of Africa /safari! I must say , we were impressed, we were blown away! So much fun. For one night stay , it took us a lot of fun time to explore the inside of the "tent". 😢: The toilet was in one part of the house and the sink to wash your hands was in the opposite part. The unlock of entrance to the building had to be done with patience - you need to wiggle it :) I sa a lot of people complaining about the narrow stairs, we did not find them problematic, but the entrance to the apartment was a sliding door, not a dor that opens by pulling/pushing. So , until we figured out how to unlock and "open" we needed a couple of minutes. It slides to the left once you unlock and you activate the door handle.No AC but has a fan..

😊: No breakfast but location close to everything by car.

😊: Unusually furnished apartment near the city center and the castle. Only 5 minutes to the grocery store. Spacious apartment, equipped kitchen. You can also use the washing machine.. 😢: Steep stairs. We struggled a bit the first time opening the door to the apartment itself after unlocking it. You have to turn the middle part to release the latch..

😊: Perfect location for catching the ferry the next day. All good..
