    Description

    Situated just a ways from the Gironde Estuary on the Southwest coast in France, our big old building in the center of a little town, with lots of old books and a musical atmosphere needs pulling together to become a cultural meeting place and an artist residence. I am an American professional singer/songwriter, gospel-blues. Alex is French, speaks 3 languages, has a PHD in literature and loves books and films. We are looking to share our project with like minded souls, we recently moved here and the place needs a lot of TLC. We also are renovating a little farm just minutes away. We are followers of the teachings and person of Jesus Christ but we are not religious! We are open to all who share a love for truth and life! Ideally we would like to find someone who wants to engage with us longterm. We have a private room available.

    The new project is a cultural experience that offers an international atmosphere of music and literature in a quiet and calm town one hour north of Bordeaux in the heart of wine country. We are artists and followers of the person and teachings of Jesus and hope to share our project with other artists or artist freindly people who are OK with that.
