    Description

    I live above a small village in Gruyère, opposite the Gastlosen mountain wall and the waterfall that refreshes the valley. It's a peaceful place, with a rich flora and fauna, a bit out of time. I live in a chalet with two apartments.
    J'habite au dessus d'un petit village en Gruyère, en face de la paroi des Gastlosen et de la cascade qui rafraîchit la vallée. C'est un endroit calme, avec une faune et une flore très riche, un peu hors du temps. J'habite dans un chalet comportant deux appartements.

    I have an extensive library, mostly in French but also in English, on all the subjects that interest me: philosophy, education, psychology. I listen to music, I have a handpan and two guitars. I am curious about all cultures and passionate about the biographies of the people I meet.

    The garden around the cottage is sloping and regularly needs clearing. I can't do everything on my own. I know the region's edible wild plants and can help others discover them, especially in spring. I'm also happy to share my cooking recipes and my knowledge about health and education.
    Le jardin qui est autour du chalet est en pente et a besoin régulièrement d'être débroussaillé. Je n'arrive pas à tout faire seule.
    Je connais les plantes sauvages comestibles de la région et peut les faire découvrir, surtout au printemps.
    Je communique aussi volontiers mes recettes de cuisine et mes connaissances concernant la santé et l'éducation.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    I offer a self-contained apartment with a double bed (for one person or a couple), bathroom, kitchen, dining room, and living room. There is a sofa in the living room that can also be used as a bed. I am happy to cook, but there is the option to cook your own meals.
    I'll be happy to share some of the meals with you. I offer local, organic cuisine and am very flexible and adaptable to your tastes. I offer international cuisine, vegan, vegetarian, or not. Three meals a day, of course. If you'd like to cook for yourself, there's a small kitchen in the apartment, and I can provide you with basic food.

    J'offre un appartement indépendant avec un lit double (pour une personne ou un couple), salle de bain, cuisine, salle à manger et salon. Il y a un canapé dans le salon qui peut aussi éventuellement servir de lit.
    Je cuisine volontiers, mais il y a la possibilité de se faire soi-même ses repas.
