    Good morning ! My name is Vincianne and I would be happy to welcome you to the large house that I bought a year ago. The landscapes are magnificent, we are surrounded by immense cliffs and mountains which line the bottom of the valley. It is a paradise for climbers and nature lovers. There's a lot of work and it's too much for me alone! For the moment no major renovations, but painting, gardening, dismantling, cleaning and sewing! I work as a psychotherapist, kinesiologist and shiatsu practitioner. I am also a shiatsu trainer. My 2 very nice sons (10 and 14 years old) come every other week. My partner is renovating an old hotel 5 minutes away. He is also a climbing instructor. I welcome you in 2 large rooms located on the first floor which are at your disposal, with bathroom and a kitchen area if necessary. Everybody can cook. There are 2 bikes and the city center is not far. Lots of hiking trails starting from the house!

    Bonjour !
    Je m’appelle Vincianne et je serais heureuse de vous accueillir dans la grande maison que j’ai achetée il y a un an. Les paysages sont magnifiques, nous sommes entourés d’immenses falaises et les montagnes qui bordent le fond de la vallée. C’est un paradis pour les grimpeurs et les amoureux de la nature.
    Il y a plein de travail et c’est trop pour moi toute seule ! Pour l’instant pas de grosses rénovations, mais des travaux de peinture, jardinage, démontage, nettoyage et couture !
    Je travaille en tant que psychothérapeute, kinésiologue et praticienne de shiatsu. Je suis formatrice de shiatsu également. Mes 2 fils très sympas (10 et 14 ans) viennent une semaine sur deux. Mon compagnon rénove un ancien hôtel à 5 minutes. Il est aussi moniteur d’escalade.
    Je vous accueille dans 2 grandes chambres situées au premier étage qui est à votre disposition, avec salle de bain et un coin cuisine si besoin. Tout le monde peut cuisiner. Il y a 2 vélos et le centre ville n’est pas loin. Plein de sentiers de rando au départ de la maison !

    The house is located in a setting of mountains and cliffs. It's good to live with the sun in the south of France and the Pyrenees. There is lots of climbing nearby, trails for hiking, rivers for fishing. Lots of tourist sites around. There are parties and concerts throughout the year.
