  Description

  We are Mélanie, Thomas and Ebene our 2 years old little boy. We baught our house in a rural area two years ago. There is a nice garden and a pottery studio just opened this january.
  Thomas is a pysiotherapist working out all day and Mélanie is a potter working at the pottery. We try to create a nice garden with vegetables and aromatic and medicinal plants. We've got a dog and a cat.
  Mélanie use to live in a collective place with people from all over the world so she is missing international exchange and working with people !
  As hobbies, Thomas loves fishing and picking mushroom into the wood. Mélanie does aerial dance and love nature, plants, cooking and art in general.

  Autres infos...

  Dordogne is a very touristic place with a lot of typical french medieval villages and also very famous caves from prehistoric time.
  Our place is not the most touristic but I've got a car I could lend, there is also buses to the cities Perigeux and Bergerac. We are in a rural place so it's for people who need peace and nature like a retreat.
  We are a quite familly seeing friends during week end. We have simple life. We love walks in the forest. We have a dog and a cat.
