Description
Since 7 years, we, that's Patrick and Marcelle, live in a lovely, little village in the Haut- Marne. Originally we are Belgian and Dutch. We wanted a more meaningful and more peaceful life for ourselfs.
Together with our dog and cat we now live an easy , simple life , back to basics. Our way of life is inspired by the Buddhism . we are warm, friendly and hospitable people.
a little bit self-supporting, together with our neighbours ,we're feeling very well in the beautiful nature of the french country side.
We need some help with gardening help, cleaning the barns and so on.
