Description
Bonjour,
My name is Elizabeth, I am a French woman living most of the time alone in a large house in a small city named Castillon la Bataille. It is next to Saint Emilion, along the River Dordogne, and very well connected to Bordeaux by train.
Now I am retired after a long carreer as engineer in an American global company. I am involved in the community activities (environmental issues, support to agro ecology local projects, immigration and multicultural challenges, cultural and artistic projects ...) and I am ruling a pottery studio settled in the center of the city.
My house is a very old building (at least 4 centuries) in the middle of the city with 3 levels and a terrace at the top with an incredible view over the countryside. It is just behind the church and next to the mairie. No need to have a car, all commodities are around (food, bars, doctors...), the train station is at 6 minutes walk.
There is a very large garden with beautifull trees, a pound with nenuphars and lotus, a sort of vegetable garden in the permaculture style with terrace over the river Dordogne.
I have a cat and 2 hens, they provide delicious eggs daily.
