  • Description

    Description

    We are a family with grown-up children who are either at university or working abroad. We live in an old house with a 500 m² garden, two cats, and some tortoises. Our home is located very close to hiking trails and along the Loire à Vélo cycling route. Angers city centre is just 10 minutes away by bus or 20 minutes by bike. We enjoy a countryside lifestyle while still living in the city.

    As I am suffering from tendinitis, I cannot participate to our project which is to repaint the shutters and some exterior parts of the house, with the help of my husband and my 22-year-old daughter, as well as doing a little DIY and maintenance work.
