  Description

  Hello
  We are Alain and Marick, hot air balloonists and travellers. We live in the coutryside of France, in the center, in a small hamlet very close to a village with all amenities.
  Of course we love flying, but also taking care of our environment, walking along the river, gardening, reading, listening to music and enjoying life and good meals.
  We are partly renovating a house and improving the environment around us. So we need help for gardening and maintainance.
