    Description

    I am living in a goat farm in a ridge of Cévennes (600 meters high). It is a quiet place with a beautiful sight close to a deep forest. The closest village (Lasalle) can be reach in one hour by walk or in 10 minutes by car. Cheese made with the milk of goats is sold each monday on the market place and in a few organic shops. We only eat organic food and - as often as possible - food from local production. I don't speak english very well but I'm learning so it's will be better and better, my 25 years old daughter speak a better english and she will be here this summer. Welcome home !

    Je suis éleveuse de chèvres sur une crête en Cévennes. C'est un bel endroit calme en forêt. Lasalle, le village le plus proche est à une heure de marche et à 10 minutes en voiture. La production de fromages est vendue tous les lundis au marché et dans quelques magasins bio. On mange bio et au maximum local. Je ne parle pas très bien anglais mais je suis en train d'apprendre donc ce sera de mieux en mieux, ma fille de 25 ans se débrouille mieux que moi et sera là cet été . Bienvenue chez nous !
