Hi there, welcome
We are a retired couple, who left Paris 18 years ago to start a new life in the south of France. We renovated an abandoned vineyard house and created the big and beautiful paradise. We welcome you to join us keeping her in good shape, and in return enjoy all the pleasures of living here, with the company of French people, the sunny weather and the breathtaking nature. Imagine having lunch and dinner in front of the Pyrenees, drinking wine and eating french cheese before taking a dive into the pool, or borrowing our car or bike to visit the area (La Cité in Carcassonne). Our place is an opportunity we want to give you, a place where we together create memories and get busy living. We are retired, but we are not ready to sit down and stop moving. Come and join the ride.
Nous sommes un couple de retraités, qui a quitté Paris pendant 18 ans pour commencer une nouvelle vie dans le sud de la France. Nous avons rénové une maison de vignerons pour ouvrir une maison d'hôtes de charme. Nous vous suggérons de la partager et de nous aider à la maintenir. En retour, vous pouvez vivre avec une famille française, profiter du soleil du sud et de la nature occitane. Imaginez déjeuner ou dîner avec vue sur les Pyrénées; boire le vin local et manger le fromage français, avant de vous baigner dans la piscine, ou emprunter la voiture ou le vélo pour visiter la région. Partager la vie avec nous est l'occasion de créer de bons souvenirs et de découvrir la culture française. Nous sommes à la retraite, mais toujours actifs.
Venez tenter l'expérience!

You will learn french if interested. We are patient teachers and we are ready to help you. My husband does not speak english, which gives you a perfect opportunity to use the language as a handy tool to communicate, and not just a nice intellectual ability. Other than that, the culture, the historical region, the hundreds of interesting trekking tracks around here, all with historical and natural significance and beauty, are things you can learn from.
You can learn everything from building with wood, to make french food, all you have to do is dare to ask, and dare to try. You will have a lot of autonomy here, and the experience here is only as good as you make it.
Nous vous proposons le gîte et le couvert dans cet écrin de verdure. Vous pourrez approfondir votre niveau de langue française, découvrir les activités du sud de la France, la ville pleine d'histoire de Carcassonne, ainsi que sa Cité médiévale.
Nous vous prêtons notre voiture électrique et nos vélos pour découvrir la région. Vous pourrez apprendre aussi bien la cuisine française que le travail du bois ou toutes sortes de bricolage. Vous aurez une grande autonomie pour organiser votre journée.
