    Description

    We are Amel & Sylvain, from the Paris region, we have made the decision to change our lives, we have been living since October 2021 in Suisse Normande, a region located south of Caen, straddling 2 departments Calvados and Orne. The Suisse Normande is a geographical area that is also a delight for hikers, horse riders and mountain bikers.

    We are sociable and dynamic, endowed with a great open-mindedness and we have a passion for cooking, music and laughter. Two complementary profiles brought together by a sense of curiosity and humor. We enjoy entertaining our friends and families and are passionate and curious about different cultures around the world.

    We have two curious 4-year-old cats, Zig & Puce ☺
