  • Description

    Description

    We live in a beautiful house with swimming pool, tennis court and horses.
    We are there, Timothée, François and I. François has 3 children (Pierre, 29; Rose 26, Julie 22). I've also 3 children (Clélia, 26; Arthur, 23; Timothée, 11).
    The village called Monségur is a place where many people play music or are artists. The village is the last one in Gironde. We are very close to the Lot et Garonne and the Dordogne. Bordeaux is 40 minutes away by train and the train station is 15 minutes away by car. The ocean is at 1h45, the Pyrenees at 2h.
    We all play music. This is the job of François, who is bassist and jazz teacher in the college of the village. My younger son (Timothée), goes to college, plays drums and bass, and does acrobatics on horseback. I'm a researcher in the humanities and I learn double-bass.
    We love taking care of our pets : horses, cats, chicken and dogs.
    Our dogs are very kind with people, but not with other dogs... this is why it's impossible to come with a pet (so sorry!)

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We have varied cultural activities and are very curious. Our most regular activities are music and horse riding. There will also be opportunities to go to the ocean or to the mountains according to your desires.
    We would like to welcome people, share moments, exchange on what everyone likes and make people discover all that I can of the beautiful countryside where we live, the historical villages around and Bordeaux which is a very beautiful city.

    We will also be able to share theoretical knowledge in management and occupational health, but this is not mandatory :).
