Auto-translated to English by AIPlus: atmospheric, close to amenities, characteristic houses Min: nuisance from mice, neighbours often on the street for coffee/drinks or even BBQ, poor parking. Maintenance by the municipality is mediocre: lots of weeds, often rubbish on the street

Auto-translated to English by AINice, cosy, quiet street. Lots of elderly people, which makes it a quiet neighbourhood. Here we look out for each other and are there for each other when needed. Once a year we get together to fill the hanging baskets, which we also maintain together. A low score for safety, and this is because of the youngsters who come from the nightlife in the village, are cheeky, make noise and even ring doorbells at night!!
