Description
We are a « young » couple aged 60. We like to travel and discover different cultures.
This network gives us the opportunity to meet people differently.
We live together in a beautiful area in the heart of the 3 borders : France (Alsace) – Switzerland – Germany.
We are very often travelling from one to the other with lots of pleasure.
We are very much appreciating the rich culture, history and diversity of languages in this area, and like to share it with our visitors.
We are 2 very involved amateurs of good food and wines, and are also very spoiled for this in this region.
Nous sommes un « jeune » couple de 60 ans (eh oui déjà !!!). Nous aimons voyager et découvrir d’autres cultures.
Ce réseau nous donne l’opportunité de rencontrer des personnes différemment.
Nous vivons à 2 dans une belle région au cœur des 3 frontières : France (Alsace) – Suisse – Allemagne, que nous parcourons régulièrement avec grand plaisir.
Nous apprécions particulièrement cette richesse culturelle, historique et linguistique, et aimons aussi faire partager cela avec nos visiteurs.
Grands amateurs gastronomes et œnologues, nous sommes aussi très gâtés pour cela dans cette région.
