Description
We are a retired couple (63 years-old). We live in a very nice villa (typical of the french coast - 19th century). We have been renovating it for the past 5 five years and there is still some work to do (mainly decoration). We live a active life, travelling around France and visiting friends. Alain really enjoys gardening and working outside. Joelle is a very good cook (traditional french cooking). We have a dog (crystal).
