    Description

    Hello!
    We Cecile and Ernest are living in Correze. It is a beautiful countryside area of France. With more animals and trees than people.
    We have a one year old baby daughter called Eline.
    We have been living here since the beginning of 2020.
    We have a big project : building our own house with ecological materials and we have been doing that since the beginning of 2021. We also have a big garden where we have planted fruit trees and other plants.
    At the moment we are living 1km away in a rented appartement with 3 bedrooms.
    Cecile is working in a local school as a help for students with disabilities.
    Ernest is a big fan of basketball and is playing several times a week.
    In the past we both have travelled quite a lot.

    You would experience life far away from the big cities of France and a true immersion in rural French culture.
    We live close from a lake and the forest (1km) so you can find a peaceful environnement.
    We both speak English and some Spanish so we can adapt.
