Descrição
We (Steffie & Darryl) are an energetic English couple in our 50s who have been living in our country home with 8 acres of land near Montaigu de Quercy in the South West of France for 4 years. Steffie is a proofreader/editor and Darryl is a writer. We live a simple life in a calm and rural place in the middle of nature with our two dogs (Chocolate Labradors – Sky & Hope) and two cats (Murphy and Arthur). We also assist an association/Charity who rescues dogs and cats. When a puppy has been abandoned, they call us and we help to find them good homes, so dogs are a very important part of our lives.
Are you an open-minded, caring, active, independent dog lover who always wanted to spend some time living in South West France? Then this may be the opportunity you have been searching for.
Cahors (45 mins), Villeneuve-sur-Lot (35 mins), Toulouse Airport (1hr 20 mins). TGV & railway stations are Agen (40 minutes), Toulouse (1hr 30 mins) and Bordeaux (2 hours).
Pyrenees (mountains) 3.5 hours, Atlantic Coast 2.5 hours, Mediterranean Coast 3 hours, Barcelona 5 hours. There is a lot to see around here!
The people here are friendly and the countryside is, well, beautiful ....
We look forward to meeting you.
