Description
We are a couple from Switzerland, in our mid-sixties, who lived in the US for over 20 years. Before we moved to France in 2020 to St. Julien Le Pelerin, a little village in the region Correze, we hosted 'Workaway' guests in our home in Vermont, USA for many years.
We are well-traveled and easy-going outdoor people, who have a big heart for animals and care for our dog and two horses. The location of our home is about 20 minutes from Argantat and 30 minutes from Aurillac. The nearest village, Gulle is about 8 minutes by car but the town doesn't offer much in terms of culture, there is only one restaurant and a small grocery shop. However, the region has a lot to offer for bikers or hikers, with the Dordogne and scenic landscape along the river.
