We are a franco-american family living in the Alps, our two children are aged 9 and 16. Lori works from home as a translator, and also travels quite often for her work. Fabien is a SAHD. Our home is located in a beautiful area in the southern Alps at 1000m elevation, near lac de Castillon. Our property borders two rivers, the Verdon and the Ivoire. We have a huge yard and there are many tourism opportunities nearby, although we are somewhat isolated with no neighbors or amenities within a 6km radius. It is easy to get here by train from Nice or Digne les Bains (our home overlooks the tourist train station which is currently closed for works, as of Feb 2020, the trains are replaced by buses, the nearest bus stop is 6 km from the house).
We have two guest rooms in the main house, and a small indepedent studio.
Things to do in the immediate area include hiking, swimming, fishing, boating, cycling. There are great opportunities for day/weekend trips to places like Digne les Bains, Annot, Entrevaux, Puget-Theniers, Nice... travelling on the small tourist train that departs from the station right by the house (4 stops/day). The nearest village is 6 km away, population approx 550. The lake is about 8 km away, we are also not far from Castellane.
We speak mostly French at home, with a little English here and there. If you want to improve your French, you will definitely have the opportunity to do so! After our 3 workaway experiences in the summer of 2013, we have realized that we prefer hosting workawayers with at least some French language skills, due to the nature of the projects we have, we found it was important to be able to communicate efficiently, and Lori is really the only English speaker in our household, she isn't always available to translate ;-)
