  Description

  I live very close to the Canal Du Midi in a town called Trebes, which is 10 minutes drive from the beautiful, historic town of Carcassonne.
  Trebes is a lively town with a small Sunday market on the bank of the Canal, and a monthly flea market in the summer. There are several bars and restaurants within a couple of minutes walking distance.
  Although i have a garden, I still take my 2 friendly dogs for a walk twice a day along the banks of the canal, and through the vineyards.
  I enjoy cooking, and doing DIY around the property.
  I am Scottish, and have been living in France full time for the last year.
  I love the location, which is 45 minutes to the beach, or an hour and a half to the ski stations in the Pyrenees.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  English is my first language, and I'm happy to help non English Speakers learn the language. I speak French, not fluently, but fortunately I am quite good at charades.
  I am a member of the AVF in Carcassonne, an organisation which has many weekly activities, such as walking, card playing, English and French workshops, crafting, yoga. Most monthls there is an early evening social event, that I can take guests to. Its a great place to meet new people of all nationalities.

  Possibilité d'accueillir les animaux

  Dogs welcome, cats run the risk of being chased by my elder dog, Ronnie Barker. Although she will chase them only if they run. She won't harm them, she's just curious and wants to play.

  Ronnie Barker

  

  Ronnie Barker (12 ans)

  A cross breed, lab/ staffie. Incredibly gentle, empathetic and clever. Loves food, and tolerates walks! She's a real character, and everyone who meets her falls in love with her. Ronnie is also short for Veronica, hence she's a female but sounds like she's a male.
