Gîte forestier de Couais
The place
Beds available: 8. Warning, one wall has a significant crack, risk of collapse. Enclosure for horses next to the refuge. Fairly degraded condition due to graffiti, likely due to its proximity to the road. Accessible by car. "ONF" section: a stove has been installed in the fireplace and it draws well and heats sufficiently, plenty of dust before the necessary sweep-up. The benches, made from wood offcuts (shelving, flooring, ...), aren't very sturdy, and the table, meant for 10, effectively seats only 4-5. As for sleeping, the upper sleeping platform worked well and should accommodate around 6-8 people. The lower one was less appealing. On the GR 946. ONF (French forestry office).
