  • Description

    Description

    Alice and Jean-Christophe, recently retired, spend time in our Normandy home, two hours from Paris, relaxing by the pool, enjoying walks and bike rides, and visiting cultural sites. We have an electric piano, a ping-pong table, and board games. It's a family home, and our children and grandchildren visit us regularly. We're hoping for help with the garden and vegetable patch, and perhaps some maintenance or DIY tasks that needs doing.
