    Description

    Hello! We are à small family. Mum and one teenage boy here in France. We have a dog, Ted the escaper and two cats. Lots of chickens. I work in a nearby town and have a boutique .

    We have a large végétable garden and young orchard and there is lots of rénovation to do on the barns and pool house.

    The landscape is beautiful. The neighbours and community too. It's slow and calm and quiet here. Razzamatazz is up the road in Mont de Marsan or Bayonne, Biaritz, Capbreton etc which is an hour away. I'd like to do the night market there too.

    You will have a lovely room and bathroom to yourself.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Saint Sever is a market town and I do the market on a Saturday. In summer it's fête after fête here. There are fun bars and restaurants in Mont de marsan, Dax and Pau. I go to Pau or Orthez once a week, So you have access. The walking is amazing. We have a lot of guests and are a laid back family.

    Winter is quieter so if you are looking g to wind down or take a rest from the city, write a book etc give it a try here.
