    Description

    We are a retired couple ready to welcome young people from all over the world. I enjoy contact and exchanges. If you want to improve your French, discover French culture, then you've come to the right place! My hobbies are gardening, reading, drawing, and especially cooking. I provide tutoring and read at school. My husband is a big DIY enthusiast. I have a lovely little English-style garden, and our house is new. We have two sons and four grandchildren who do not live near us.

    Nous sommes un couple de retraités prêt à accueillir des jeunes du monde entier.
    J’aime le contact et les échanges. Vous souhaitez améliorer votre français, découvrir la culture française, alors vous êtes au bon endroit!
    Mes hobbys sont le jardin, la lecture, le dessin, et surtout la cuisine. Je fais du soutien scolaire et vais lire à l’école. Mon mari bricole beaucoup.
    Je possède un joli petit jardin à l’anglaise, notre maison est récente.
    Nous avons 2 fils, 4 petits enfants qui ne vivent pas à proximité de nous.
