    Description

    Hello,
    Hello,
    I'm a 61-year-old psychologist, editor, and author, moving to Brittany with lots of plans.
    I live in a pretty village in central Brittany, Langast, with the oldest church in Brittany. We're 40 minutes from the beaches.
    I'll welcome you to my main house, where I have guest rooms, which I'll make available to you. My second house, next door, dates from the early 18th century. I also have a large garden, apple trees, lime trees, and rose bushes...
    I love organizing delicious meals with my local friends, and of course, for you!
    I have five children, but they're grown and live in Paris.
    I love books, but I also have Wi-Fi...
    This is volunteer work, to help me out.

    Bonjour,

    Bonjour,
    je suis une femme de 61 ans, psychologue, éditeur et auteur, qui s'installe en Bretagne avec plein de projets.
    J'habite un joli village au centre Bretagne, Langast, avec la plus vieille église de Bretagne. Nous sommes à 40 mn des plages.
    Je vous accueillerai dans ma maison principale où j'ai des chambres d'hôtes, que je mettrai à votre disposition. Ma deuxième maison, à côté, date du début du XVIIIe siècle. J'ai aussi un grand jardin, des pommiers, des tilleuls et des rosiers...
    J'adore organiser de bons repas avec mes amis du coin et forcément, pour vous!
    J'ai 5 enfants, mais ils sont grands et vivent à Paris.
    J'adore les livres mais j'ai aussi du wifi...
    Il s'agit d'un travail bénévole, pour m'aider.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I invite you to participate in the activities of my local group of friends: choir, gong, convivial meals, meetings, festivals, and local events. My neighbor, Viviane, already regularly hosts work aways.
    We can also visit the Brocéliande Forest and other cultural sites. Finally, we can go to the beach.
    Finally, learn French and French, Breton, and Provençal cuisine.
    I'm also very curious to learn about new cultures...

    I get by in English and Spanish, I would love to learn Italian. As I am from the south of France, I also speak a lot with gestures to make myself understood... Guaranteed laughs. Je me débrouille en anglais et en Espagnol, j'adorerai apprendre l'italien. Comme je suis originaire du sud de la France, je parle aussi beaucoup avec des gestes pour me faire comprendre ... Fous rires garantis.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    I have three bedrooms in my house, a private bathroom for my guests, and a separate living room space for them on the top floor of my house. So I can accommodate three workawayers at the same time, which would be nicer.
    Meals will be shared on the ground floor, in the dining room. or outside in the garden if the weather is nice.

    J'ai trois chambres dans ma maison, une salle de bain privative pour mes hôtes, et un espace salon indépendant pour eux au dernier étage de ma maison. Je peux donc accueillir trois workawayers. Ce qui serait bien plus sympa.
    Les repas seront partagés au rez de chaussée, dans la salle à manger. ou dehors dans le jardin s'il fait beau.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    During your stay, you can walk in the surrounding countryside, visit the medieval town of Moncontour (10 minutes by car), ride a bike, go to the beach, cook, discover the French art of living, good wines, fest-noz, galettes-saucisses and cider... and the lively discussions of the French at the table... There are also deckchairs, and plenty of French DVDs to watch. And meet my children aged 34 to 22... If you want to visit a bit of Brittany, I can take you to a station for the train and the bus. Otherwise, I take you in my car.

    Pendant votre séjour, vous pourrez vous balader dans la campagne environnante, visiter la cité médiévale de Moncontour (à 10 mn en voiture), faire du vélo, aller à la plage, faire la cuisine, découvrir l'art de vivre à la française, les bons vins, les fest-noz, les galettes-saucisses et le cidre... et les discussions animées des français à table...
    Il y a aussi des transats, et plein de DVD français à visionner.
    Et rencontrer mes enfants de 34 à 22 ans...
    Si vous voulez visiter un peu la Bretagne, je peux vous amener à une gare pour le train et le car. Sinon, je vous emmène dans ma voiture.
