    Beschreibung

    We live in an old farmhouse in the foothills of the French Pyrenees, not far from the Mediterranean Sea and the Spanish frontier. It is a very peaceful setting, with no close neighbours and nature all around. There is a village five minutes away, with a shop, bars, post office and little school. It is a very close community with everyone looking out for each other and seems a hundred miles from life in a big city. However, the popular town of Ceret is only half an hour away with the coastal resorts can be reached in about an hour.
    And had undergone many changes. We have lived here for three years and have had major renovation work carried out, but there are still many things to do, both inside and out (there is 1.5 hectares of land)

    My wife is German and I am English, both semi-retired. We have both travelled a lot - hitching around Europe when were were younger, then further afield when we could afford it. We are always interested in meeting new people and sharing experiences.

    Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

    We speak English and German although our French is far from being perfect. I play a very average ukulele and know local musicians who play out open mics and jams. We a very familiar with the area, the mountains, including walking, cycling and local cultural events.

    We always enjoy listening to people and hear and here about their experiences, young and old. There is always something to learn, share, and enjoy

  • Was noch ...

    Was noch ...

    We are isolated. (That is the beauty.)
    A car is useful but of course we can provide transport. There is a school bus to the nearest town.
    There is a lot of history and culture in the area, some great cycles and walks, plus all that nature has to offer.
    We like good beer and wine, local food. Smoking outside.
    The only house rule is mutual respect.
