    Description

    US boys forbidden !
    Since separating in 2025 —returned to the neighborhood where I grew up: Les Catalans, Le Pharo... right in the city center, overlooking the sea and next to the beach.
    I love going out and attending performances (contemporary dance, theater, circus arts) and the cinema.
    Following bouts of cancer in 2000 and 2021, walking became nearly impossible due to the pain, so I now get around in an electric wheelchair (which is why I chose to move back to the city center, despite having previously owned a lovely house in the hills above the city).
    I now need someone with a valid driver's license and solid driving experience (driving on the right-hand side, as is the rule in France); because it is impossible to get proper medical care in Marseille, I have to make regular trips up to Lyon, where I lived and worked throughout my career.

    Apres ma séparation avec mon mari, je suis depuis 2025 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 mes cancers en 2000 puis 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).
    J’ai désormais besoin de personne ayant un permis avec bonne expérience de la conduite (à droite en France) car se faire correctement soigner sur Marseille est impossible, je dois donc remonter régulièrement sur Lyon où j’ai vécu pour travailler pendant toute ma carrière

    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
