    Description

    I bought not yet a year ago a small farmhouse in the Bourbonnais bocage to make it a family home for my children and their friends. I have a large plot of land to maintain and 5 bedrooms to repaint.

    I am in the heart of the village of Saint Plaisance .. 400 inhabitants. not far from the very beautiful forests of Civray de Tronnes. It is calm and relaxing. My partner has a candle-making workshop and we are lucky to have quite a few young people who have settled there .. dancers .. choristers

    I am 9 km from Bourbon l'Archambaut. Its thermal baths, its market with its wonderful local products. 12 km from Lurcy Levis and its famous Street art. A little haven of peace .. at night I see the Milky Way because there is no nuisance .. complete darkness . a joy. You are welcome to come and give me a little help with the cottage.

    Welcome

    J ai acheté il y a pas encore 1 an une petite longere dans le bocage bourbonnais pour en faire une maison de famille pour mes enfants et leurs amis. J ai un grand terrain à entretenir et 5 chambres à repeindre.
    Je suis au cœur du village de Saint plaisir ..400 habitants .pas loin des très belles forêts de civray de troncais. C est calme et reposant. Mon compagnon a de son côté un atelier de fabrication de bougies et nous avons la chance d avoir pas mal de jeunes qui se sont installés..danseurs..choristes
    Je suis à 9 km de bourbon l archambaut. Ses thermes, son marché avec ses merveilleux produits locaux. A 12 km de Lurcy levis et de son célèbre Street art.
    Un petit havre de paix.. la nuit je vois la voie lactée car il n y a aucune nuisance ..noir complet .un bonheur.
    Vous êtes les bienvenus pour venir me donner un petit coup de main contre le gîte .

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I am already a fan of home exchanges for my travels and I have hosted many people in my home in Paris with couchsurfing. I like meeting people and sharing. I have also shared a lot of meals and recipes. I can show you the region and its treasures, its gastronomy. There is a candle-making workshop in the village that offers demo workshops and our little bar organizes a Karaoke evening every 15 days, otherwise it is often the neighbors' party in my garden :-)
