    Description

    We Philippe, Valerie , we live in an old farmhouse in a cedar forest, in Languedoc-Roussillon, 25 km from Carcassonne, we live and work on a property, we have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 1 llama.

    Many young people of all nationalities stayed two months in total immersion and they left speaking the usual French perfectly as well as French slang, some went to university in France or Belgium after their stay!

    You can make jogging, mountain biking hiking, archery, picking up mushrooms, eating truffles (in season), I will learn what I know in my work and also to find water with chopsticks.
