  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  I am originally british so speak fluent english and have lived & worked here for almost 18 years so not bad in french & I can order beer in spanish! I live a simple but packed life- I work, have animals, a part time business making artisanal soy candles and a gite on site. I am taming the wilderness to create a pleasant garden which is hospitable for guests in the gite and the local bird/ wildlife, I have a raised veggie plot & greenhouse, no chemical treatments. Look forward to meeting positive, dynamic & interesting people who want to enjoy the peace and quiet of country life and a good conversation over a glass of wine or dinner.
