Us :
I'm a guy having left Paris to set up a tourism project in auvergne.
Originally I am an art historian passionate by architecture, landscaping, design and flee market.
I like to meet people who get me out of my comfort, making me do things that I will not do naturally. It is a frequent experience since I left Paris. I think of being a positive nature and laughing at all the situations. I tend to take everything as an experience, even when it's really bad.
Of a sociable and entertaining nature, I love to walk, discover new places, cook and make party.
I created this guest house project alone, but I hate loneliness, So there is also in the house :
You
you can be a boy, a girl, or both. we do not care about your age but you have to be a kid in your head. able to work well and be serious in your work 3 hours a day,and know how to decompress at night by doing a aperitif, a good meal etc
you do like wine and cheese or you gonna be really sad and me too
(Cheese is the speciality of my area it's in every meal)
The area
Auvergne / Haute-Loire.
We are in a village, Lavoute-Chilhac, reconnized like one of the most beautiful village of France, so it's really touristic during the summer.
the landscape is made of volcano and river torrent, it's a perfect place for canoe, climbing, hiking, swiming.
And of course we do all thoses stuff.
the village has all the basic shops (bakery, bar, restaurants, pharmacy, grocery ..)
many music festival during the season, a lot of historical place and village to visit.
if you find that the landscapes of new zealand are pretty, it is on us than they copied.
to discover the place :
ask me for the links to our place
I have no regrets to have left Paris for the countryside, I love life here, the scenery made of volcanoes, river and lake is incredible, people are pleasant and it is easy to discuss and make friendships. I also like the respect that is given to the wild nature here, the fact of being able to eat good local and organic products.
Allez viens!
