    Description

    I live in a seaside village, not far from the marshes and the wild coast. In the area you will find sailing schools, equestrian centers, cinemas, restaurants and bars, bookstores etc. The big city of Nantes is accessible by train.
    For the moment, i am looking for some help in building a little pergola and a simple wood shed.

    Je vis dans un village en bord de mer, non loin des marais et de la côte sauvage. Dans le secteur vous trouverez des écoles de voile, des centres équestres, des cinémas, restaurants et bars, des librairies etc. La grande ville de Nantes est accessible par train.
    Actuellement je suis à la recherche d'une personne bricoleuse qui pourra m'aider à fabriquer une petite pergola et un abri bois assez simple.
