    Description

    Hi, I live in the countryside of central Brittany. I love meeting new people, inviting friends at home and having great discussions with people from diverse backgrounds. I speak fluent English and I can understand a bit of German, Italian and Spanish. I would be pleased to welcome you to my home and tell you all about the beautiful sites of Brittany.

    Bonjour, j'habite en campagne dans le Centre Bretagne. J'aime rencontrer des gens, inviter des amis chez moi et discuter avec des personnes de tout horizon. Je parle l'anglais couramment et me débrouille en allemand, italien, espagnol. Je serai ravie de vous recevoir et vous donner des informations sur ma belle région la Bretagne.
