    Description

    US boys forbidden !
    I recently returned to my childhood neighborhood: Les Catalans, Le Pharo… right in the center, just above the sea and next to the beach.
    I love going out and seeing shows (contemporary dance, theater, circus) and cinema.
    Following cancer in 2021, walking became almost impossible because it was too painful, and so I use an electric wheelchair (hence the decision to return to the city center even though I had a beautiful house in the hills above the city).
    Gay, but just separated since March 25, I prefer to be surrounded by gays because we understand each other easily and share the same culture.

    Depuis peu de retour dans mon quartier d'enfance : les catalans, le pharo… en plein centre et juste au dessus de la mer et à côté de la plage.
    J'adore sortir et spectacles (danse contemporaine, théâtre, circassien) et cinéma.
    Suite à un cancer en 2021 marcher est devenu presque impossible car trop douloureux et donc me déplace en fauteuil roulant électrique (d'où le choix de revenir dans le centre ville alors que j'avais une belle maison dans les collines au dessus de la ville).
    Gay, mais juste séparé depuis mars 25, je préfère être entouré de gays car on se comprends facilement et partageons la même culture.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I go to shows as often as possible, especially contemporary dance, exhibitions and museums, but now I need a driver to help me move around the city.

    Je vais le plus souvent possible voir des spectacles, notamment de danse contemporaine, expositions et musées, mais j'ai désormais besoin d'un accompagnateur pour conduire.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The apartment is located in the city center with numerous bus lines and the sea just outside the windows. Now in an (electric) wheelchair since my last cancer in 2021, I have more and more pain and difficulty to do things and walk by myself, even though I have always done all the necessary work and adjustments myself, with all the necessary equipment (I did a lot of carpentry).
    I have worked extensively with the performing arts (10 years at the Avignon Festival), then with major institutions (in the fields of employment and health), then with NGOs (having been lucky enough to start my own business in Lyon but only working with Paris).

    L'appartement est situé en plein centre de la ville avec de nombreuses lignes de bus et la mer juste en dessous des fenêtres. Désormais en fauteuil roulant (électrique) depuis mon dernier cancer en 2021, j'ai de plus en plus de douleurs et de difficultés à faire les choses alors que j'ai toujours fait par moi-même tous les travaux et aménagements nécessaires, avec tout le matériel nécessaire (j'ai fait beaucoup de menuiserie.
    J'ai travaillé énormément avec le spectacle vivant (10 ans de Festival d'Avignon), puis les grandes institutions (dans le domaine de l'emploi et de la santé,puis les ONG (ayant eu la chance de créer mon entreprise sur Lyon mais en ne travaillant qu'avec Paris
