We are a retired couple since a few years. Benoit had a career in real estate finance for 30 years and Marie in occupational therapy for about the same period. We are parents of three wonderful kids which are now professional adults. We also have the happiness of being grandparents. We are fluently bilingual (French and English) and Benoit has beginner level knowledge of Italian. Being active is our day-to day moto. We like outdoor activities, cycling, hiking, swimming and cross country skiing. We like to travel but slowly by taking the time to meet locals. Lastly we are resourceful for small repairs, enjoy doing renos and gardening.
