    Hallo, I am a 67 year old single, english lady; living alone in my own house, in the southwest of France.
    I have been living here since 2007. I speak fluent English and German and adequate French. I have two cats, who also have access to the house!
    My house is 140 sq. m. The living erea is open plan, with two bedrooms, kitchen and one bathroom ( shower only ) and a 20 m. long veranda.
    My house is detached, within one hectare of land. I live on the outskirts of two small villages in the Armagnac region of Gers, Occitane, Midi-Pyrénées. The mountains ( for skiing, hiking etc.) and the Atlantic coast ( surfing ) are a couple of hours drive away! Spain: for example, San Sebastian, the same. Also the cities of Bordeaux to the west and Toulouse to the east, are about one and half hrs drive away!
    It is ideal for people who enjoy the countryside, wild life and an outdoor life style.
    The small town of Mont de Marsan is a 30 minute drive away: with restaurants, cinema, concerts etc.
    The historical village of Labastide is close by. There is a summer event there, with lots of open air performances.
    There are many historical sites and cultural events all over Gers and Les Landes.
    The climat is mild in the winter and can get very hot in the summer.

The land is very overgrown with brambles, and with large ereas of bamboo: These will need cutting back and disposing of. Tools and equipment will be available; it is important you know how to use them . Also you should have a general knowledge of gardening and cultivation.
