    Description

    Welcome to Celleneuve, Montpellier! My name is Maud, and I live in the charming Celleneuve neighborhood in Montpellier. This neighborhood has a village atmosphere while being within the city and close to the city center, which gives it an authentic side. Here, you can discover the small picturesque alleys, enjoy the neighborhood cinema, street workout in the park right next door. If you like exploring, the tram will quickly take you to the city center of Montpellier or even to the sea! I live with my adorable cat, Moumoune, in a beautiful house that I bought a year ago. What makes the place really special is our large garden. Although we are in the city, it feels like we are in the countryside here. It is a haven of peace where you can relax in the middle of nature. 🌿

    You will be warmly welcomed in a friendly atmosphere. You will be able to discover Montpellier from a new angle, enjoy the calm of nature while having the city at your fingertips. I love discussing, exchanging ideas, and creating an environment where everyone feels good! If you love cats, nature, and want to help me transform my house and garden, you are welcome!

    Right now I'm focused in figuring out and learning how to do most of the things in my house by myself, if you want recommendations on the best youtube videos don't hesitate to ping me :D The garden is quite big and always need a bit of attention. We can discuss in private message to share about what you are looking for and where I would need help !

    Bienvenue à Celleneuve, Montpellier !

    Je m'appelle Maud, et j'habite dans le charmant quartier de Celleneuve à Montpellier. Ce quartier est un ancien village tout proche du centre-ville (15 minutes en vélo). Si vous aimez explorer, le tramway 3 vous mènera rapidement au centre de Montpellier ou même à la mer ! Ici, vous pourrez découvrir les petites ruelles pittoresques, profiter du cinéma de quartier et faire du street workout dans le parc juste à côté.

    Je vis avec Moumoune, dans une belle maison que j'ai acheté il y a un an avec un grand jardin ensoleillé. Bien qu'on soit en ville, on a l'impression d’être à la campagne. C'est un havre de paix où vous pourrez vous détendre en pleine nature. 🌿

    Vous serez accueilli-es chaleureusement dans une atmosphère à la bonne franquette. Vous pourrez découvrir Montpellier sous un nouvel angle. J'adore discuter, échanger des idées, et créer un environnement où tout le monde se sent bien !

    Si vous aimez les chats, la nature, et que vous avez envie de m'aider à transformer ma maison et mon jardin, vous êtes les bienvenu-es !

    En ce moment, je me concentre sur l'apprentissage de nombreuses compétences diverses et variées nécessaires quand on retape sa maison... Si vous souhaitez des recommandations sur les meilleures vidéos YouTube, n'hésitez pas à me contacter :D Le jardin est assez grand et a toujours besoin d'un peu d'entretien. Nous pouvons discuter en message privé de vos besoins et des domaines dans lesquels j'aurais besoin d'aide !

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Living in Celleneuve is an opportunity to discover local life in a typical Montpellier neighborhood, while being immersed in a friendly and open atmosphere. As a volunteer in an associative café where workshops, concerts and other events are regularly held, I will offer to accompany you there to meet an activist community and discover local projects. This will be a great way to build relationships with local people, exchange ideas and integrate into Montpellier life.

    Before moving to Montpellier 8 years ago, I had the chance to work abroad, which allowed me to discover other cultures and broaden my horizons. Thanks to this experience, I speak English fluently and I will be happy to exchange with you in this language if it helps you feel more comfortable. I also love sharing my travel experiences and I look forward to hearing about yours!

    Regarding help at home, whether in the garden or for small tasks, we will have many opportunities to do tasks together and exchange knowledge. I am also very curious to learn from you, whether in gardening, DIY, or even cooking or your life experience. If you have specific skills or passions, we can share them to make the experience even more enriching.

    Montpellier is a city with a fascinating history, a vibrant cultural life and easy access to the Mediterranean Sea. After 8 years here, I know the city and its secrets well, and I will be happy to share them with you. I can advise you on places to visit or even accompany you to explore certain corners. If you like bike rides, I can also lend you a bike to go on an adventure and discover the region at your own pace.

J'aime aussi partager mes expériences de voyage et j'ai hâte d'entendre parler des vôtres !

    En ce qui concerne le travail à la maison, que ce soit dans le jardin ou pour des petits travaux, nous aurons de nombreuses occasions de travailler ensemble et d'échanger des connaissances.Je suis aussi très curieuse d'apprendre de vous, que ce soit en jardinage, en bricolage, ou même en cuisine ou votre expérience de vie. Si vous avez des compétences spécifiques ou des passions, nous pourrons les partager pour rendre l'expérience encore plus enrichissante.

    Montpellier est une ville avec une histoire fascinante, une vie culturelle dynamique et un accès facile à la mer Méditerranée. Après 8 ans ici, je connais bien la ville et ses secrets, et je serai ravie de vous les faire découvrir.

    Accommodation

    You will be staying in a warm and welcoming house, located in the peaceful Celleneuve district of Montpellier. The house is surrounded by a large sunny garden, a real corner of nature in the city, perfect for relaxing.

    I live here with my cat, Moumoune. There is a bit of chaos, because I am still making the place my own and organizing the house! You will have a private room, single bed, with table and wardrobe, where you can rest in peace. The bathroom and kitchen will be shared, but the house is big enough for us to live together without any problem. An important point: I am vegetarian and ideally, I would like the house to remain meat and fish free.

    In addition, the house is equipped with fast speed internet, which will allow you to stay connected without worry. We will share the spaces in a spirit of mutual respect and mutual assistance. It is a place in the making, where you can feel at home while participating in the evolution of this haven of peace in the heart of the city.

    The house is vegetarian! I cannot provide for all the meals as I often go out, but I would appreciate sharing some meals with you :)

    Vous serez hébergé(e) dans une maison chaleureuse et accueillante, située dans le quartier paisible de Celleneuve à Montpellier. La maison est entourée d'un grand jardin ensoleillé, un véritable coin de nature en ville, parfait pour se détendre.

    Je vis ici avec mon chat, Moumoune. Il y a un peu de chaos, car je suis encore en train de m'approprier les lieux et d'organiser la maison ! Vous disposerez d’une chambre privée, lit simple, avec table et armoire, où vous pourrez vous reposer en toute tranquillité. La salle de bain et la cuisine seront partagées, mais la maison est assez grande pour que nous cohabitions sans problème. Un point important : je suis végétarienne et dans l'idéal, j'aimerais que la maison reste sans viande ni poisson.

    En plus, la maison est équipée de la fibre, ce qui vous permettra de rester connecté(e) sans souci. Nous partagerons les espaces dans un esprit de respect mutuel et d’entraide. C’est un lieu en devenir, où vous pourrez vous sentir chez vous tout en participant à l’évolution de ce havre de paix en pleine ville.

    La maison est végétarienne ! Je ne peux pas vous préparer tous les repas car souvent je sors, mais ça me ferait plaisir qu'on partage des repas :)
