  Description

  We’re a family of 4 (Karène, Jalil, Jade 8 yo and Nora 6 yo) living in Albi.
  
  Karène is making boe ties
  Jalil is freelance developer
  Jade is unschooled and Nora is entering elementary school
  
  Tarn is a great place to live and Albi is a lovely medium-sized city. We’re 30-min walk from the city historic center and from there we’re one hour (train/car/bus) from Toulouse.
  
  We have often welcomed foreign people and are always delighted to share our home and our leisure activities with them.
  
  We love travel, biking, hiking, music and movies.
