Description
Family like life. Our house is located in a village, 50 kms from Paris.
We are an elderly active couple. Our daughter (age28) left us recently to live in an appartement nearer to her work. Our grandaughters (14 and 15 years old) visit us once or twice a month as well as their father.
The help we like to get . Gardening; painting and various diy tasks in the house, cleaning ; cooking. We like to share the cooking duties and eat food from all over the world.
Our village is close to Abbaye de Royaumont; Chantilly is at 12 kms; the forest is at 5 minutes walk. You can go and visit Paris by train occasionally (walk or bus + 40 mns train + bus or underground) -
