    Description

    Hello, my name is Leïla, I’m 57 years old. I live with my daughter (16 y.o) and sometime with my 3 others children when they are not travelling.
    We live in an old farm and water mill in the countryside around Lyon.

    Mon nom est Leïla, j'ai 57 ans et le vis dans un vieux moulin des Monts du Lyonnais (50 minutes de Lyon), avec mes 4 enfants (de 30 à 16 ans). J'enseigne les arts plastiques et j'adore cuisiner pour les autres. J'aime les rencontres et les voyages. J'ai besoin d'aide pour le jardinage et l'aménagement du terrain.
