  Description

  Hello!
  
  We are a warm and welcoming family living in Trois-Rivières, in the Pointe-du-Lac area, west of the city. Our home is located near the St. Lawrence River, just a few kilometers from Lake St. Pierre, in a peaceful environment surrounded by wooded land. We are also close to mountain biking trails, and perfectly located halfway between Montreal and Quebec City.
  
  We speak french at home, my husband and I we speak english and the kids are starting to learn at school.
  
  We have three wonderful children:
  - Our 5-year-old daughter: she is just starting kindergarten this year. She is curious, full of energy, and loves playing, drawing, and discovering new things.
  
  - Our 8-year-old son: he is passionate about music, loves singing, and is already playing the piano with great enthusiasm.
  
  -Our 10-year-old son: he is passionate about speed skating and trains with dedication. He also enjoys sciences and taking on challenges.
  
  All three are cheerful, affectionate, and excited to meet new people.
