Saint Nicolas des Bois, at the foot of the Forest d'Ecouves on the southern flank of the massif, escapes the morning fog that tends to be localized on the plains of Alençon. The morning sunshine benefits the east-facing rooms and enables the solar water jet in the natural pond to operate, as do the photovoltaic panels and solar water heaters installed on the property since 2007. The pond is home to a rich biodiversity of birds and dragonflies, hence the name "Odonatura". A wink even on your breakfast dishes! The tall trees in the garden are home to woodpeckers whose beaks strike the tree trunks, echoing in the distance. A rarer species, the magnificent Hoopoe, also lives on the edge of the Forest, and can be seen on walks around the accommodation. Wild geese fly across the sky and sometimes spend a few days on a nearby pond.

On a 6-hectare property, two bed and breakfast rooms in an outbuilding of the owners' house:
Ground floor: breakfast room with pellet stove and TV.

Patrick a aménagé son lieu de vie autour de la pièce d'eau, où vivent quantité d'oiseaux et libellules. C'est d'eux qu'est venu l'idée du nom donné au lieu : Odonatura. Les chambres, quant à elles, restaurées dans les anciennes écuries, portent le nom de chevaux célèbres dans le monde des courses hippiques.

    Very peaceful place

    Everything was great: the beds, the shower, the breakfast. And the surroundings with the pond and the animals and the trees and the flowers.
    The only thing that missed would be a door between the bedroom and the bathroom. But that was the only thing, the rest was perfect!
