There are ample numbers of sockets both on the ‘bar’ island and around all four walls. There is also plumbing for American type fridges that need a water supply. The floor tiles are old traditional French red. Two large radiators usually heat the room, but at the far end there is a fireplace with a wood burner. A door leads into the dining area.
