  Description

  We have bought an old station in the middle of the woods. We are in the process of developing and would like everything to move faster, the house installation and painting, the construction of the barn, the rehabilitation of the old sanitary building for storage, the vegetable garden, the land with 2ha mainly wood. We also take the time to visit Aquitaine which we do not know between coastline, old stones, natural places and picturesque villages. Our animals 2 dogs and 3 cats live in our house. We are isolate, at 25km from the first city and at 4 km from the village.
  
  Nous venons d'acheter une ancienne gare au milieu des bois. Nous sommes en train d'aménager et aimerions que tout avance plus vite, la maison installation et peintures, la construction de la grange, la remise en état de l'ancien bâtiment sanitaire pour en faire du rangement, le potager, le terrain avec 2ha de bois principalement. Nous prenons aussi le temps de visiter l'Aquitaine que nous ne connaissons pas entre littoral, vieilles pierres, lieux naturels et village pittoresques. Nos animaux 2 chiens et 3 chats vivent dans la maison avec nous. Nous sommes isolés à 25km de la premiere petite ville et 4 km du village.
