    Description

    Hello, we are two gay men.
    Paul (55 years old) & Pierre-Yves (52 years old)
    We are horticulturalists.
    Gay guys are welcome.

    Paul is native origionally from Paris, Pierre-Yves, from Lyon,
    Here we speak mostly in french, we hope this is not an obstacle for you, we wil be glad to improuve your french.
    Paul speak some English,

    We live with one beautiful dog and a cat in a peaceful location rural France but near to shops and towns. Our house and barns, being contructed over 200 years ago, in local stone, the house is full of features and charm.

    We are very sociable persons.
    We live very quietly in the countryside, our life revolves mainly around the work that is done outdoors and in all weathers.

    It is a real pleasure for us and we like to share it with people who appreciate the calm, .... far from the city!
    Life at home is very simple, we have lunches and dinners together. we are happy that you share all meals during your stay.

    We operate a plant nursery from home and this does not leave a lot of free time to work on the house and garden, therefore projects include gardening/weeding, land clearing .

    We are openly homosexual so we are LGBT Friendly , and so it goes without saying, if you are homophobic you would be better finding another location.

    At the heart of our property you will find a large and charming swimming pool. Far from the gaze of the neighbors, we appreciate doing naturism.
    Wireless internet and more peace and quiet than you could shake a stick at!
