Description
We are Pascal and Corinne,
We live in a countryside house in the southwest of France, with a swimming pool, garden, and animals, 1 hour away from Bordeaux and 1 hour and 30 minutes away from Toulouse. There is a small town with 18,000 inhabitants, called Marmande, just 10 minutes from our home.
We are new to the website and have never hosted anyone before.
