  Description

  Hello
  We are Alain and Marick, hot air balloonists and travellers. We live in the coutryside of France, in the south west center, in a small hamlet very close to a village with all amenities.
  
  Of course we love flying, but also taking care of our environment, walking along the river, gardening, reading, listening to music and enjoying life and good meals.
  
  Alain has ben a sport teacher and has a long practice of restoring anything in a house from building to electricity and plombing.
  I, Marick, have been a Yoga teacher and a Gestalt practician. I have also managed a very large guest house for a long time.
  Boudhism and meditation are also some of my interests.
