  • Description

    Description

    Originally from Holland but now living on the countryside (on a farm) of France with my 3 kids (18, 7 and 3 years), dogs, cats, chickens and about 25 horses. We have an extra studio (in another building) with a small bathroom, kitchen and bedroom, own terras and BBQ.
    We provide privacy though but ofcourse we will welcome WA's as part of the family, to enjoy food, the pool (when possible), the drinks, what so ever together. I'am quite flexible :)

    Accommodation in own caravan/camper is also possible if requested.

    Thinking of going to France? Send me a message, more then welcome!
