    Description

    We are a young and active couple needing help in our 5000m2 of land !!

    Trying and learning is our favorite. We practice a lot of sports wakeboarding, downhill biking, skating, time to time indoor free fly.. during winter skiing and snowboarding. Raphaël also practices parachute.

    .We are not a ''fashion couple''. With 4 different languages between us, we are on our way to inventing our own mixed language!

    !! IMPORTANT !!!, we do not eat meat or fish at home, although we are amazing veggie cookers ^.^(or we try) if you don't feel fine with the no meat policy please be aware that it's not a flexible rule :(
    Join us!!!
