“A family clientele”
“The funny ladies” as she calls them, left the center of France by exceptional convoy. The first has already arrived in Yutz where it is stored away from the elements while waiting to pass into the expert hands of a carpenter. The other two will follow.
In a few weeks, the trailers, which will each have “a little name”, will be given a makeover and redecorated in keeping with local tradition. “The idea is also to make it a showcase for regional know-how with the emphasis on local products,” insists Isabelle.
The question of the land has been asked, and if discussions have already taken place with elected representatives of the Thionville crown, “nothing has yet been signed”. The land with an area of between three and four acres must be serviced and be located near leisure areas because, for the couple, the project is to target primarily a family clientele thanks to the four beds each equipping ” funny ladies ”.
Accommodation in a trailer may also be suitable, from time to time, for workers passing through the area, as an alternative to conventional accommodation, plus nature.
