Description
HI !
I am a nature and human lover. I left my birth town Paris 26 years ago, to set in a very small village of Entre-Deux-Mers. The countryside here is beautiful ! and I cannot get tired of it ! My two childrens are grown up and live their own ife now, so i have a lot more of time for my project. I am passionate about plants. I learned how to use them and had a shop were i use to sell and give advice for using them (essencial oils, herbal teas, tea...). I also start to learn Astrologie 15 yars ago, numérologie and Tarot of Marseille. Everything that brings help to understand ourselves interest me.
My house is quite big and there is a hudg garden to take care of.
I decided to move and go to live elsewere, so help is needed.
The place were I leave is very quiet and surrounded by nature.
Bonjour !
Je suis une amoureuse de la nature et de l'humain. J'ai quitté Paris, ma ville natale, il y à 26 ans pour m'installer dans l'Entre Deux Mers, je ne me lasse pas d'arpenter les routes qui mènent à la maison car chaque saison apporte son lot de magnifiques couleurs et de beauté. Mes enfants sont grands maintenant et vivent à Bordeaux. J'ai plus de temps à consacrer à mes projets. Les plantes me passionnent, je suis herboriste de formation et je crée mes propres remèdes. J'utilise beaucoup les huiles essentielles. Tout ce qui permet de mieux se connaitre me passionne également. (l'astrologie que je pratique depuis plus de 15 ans, la numérologie, le Tarot de Marseille...)
Je m'occupe de l'entretien d'une grande maison de plein pied et du très grand jardin qui l'entoure (5 000 m2) Il y a beaucoup de haies à tailler, d'arbustes a élaguer, de bois a couper et à ranger. Il y a sur place une grange à ranger et vider, des murs des volets à peindre, ...L'endroit est paisible mais il y a parfois du monde à la maison et l'environnement est parfait pour se ressourcer.

La région est truffée d'endroits magiques. Des sites telluriques. Beaucoup de belles promenades. Des marchés de producteurs. Une ancienne voie ferrée devenue piste cyclable de plus de 40 km reliant Bordeaux à Sauveterre De Guyenne. De magnifiques villages à visiter. Des dégustations de vins chez les producteurs locaux. Le village de Saint-Emillion à 20 km. Des producteurs de fromage de chèvre. Des brocantes. Bordeaux à 45 km. Tout près de l'Atlantique et de ses dégustations d'huîtres. Des festivals culturels....
A la maison nos activité sont multiples (astrologie, couture, bricolage, herboristerie...) nous aimons manger et cuisiner (cuisines du monde, cuisine simple créative et saine avec des produits frais et biologiques le plus souvent). Nous mangeons peu de viande et privilégions les jus de légumes en ce moment
