Description
Hi,
I am energetic, outgoing, open minded and interested to share my experiences and to hear yours.
We have a lovely holiday house on the water edge of the Gulf of Morbihan.
I will be going there on my own (with Jack my black curly little dog) from November 5 to November 23, and I would also love to have human company.
With your help, we would prepare the house, the garden and the boats for the winter, which includes, if you wish to come along, a short sail to the place where they pull the sailboats out ot the water at the entrance of the gulf (no experience needed, I can do that on my own).
You will have the opportunity to explore the area either along the numerous scenic footpaths along the water edge (one of them passing right in front of the house), or with bicycles (including electric bikes) that we have at the house, or visit the old town of Vannes nearby.
