    Hello,

    The project is to help me with house maintenance, painting, DIY, garden maintenance. I would like to create a new vegetable garden... The goal is also to share everyday moments of life with joy and good humor! At home, music predominates. There is a piano, and it is possible to share on this level too. I speak French, Spanish and English. For leisure, cycling, tennis, pétanque, ping-pong table are available. Hikes in the scrubland nearby as well as the greenway. The sea is 30 minutes away, the river too. Spirituality, meditation, positivity and wisdom are part of my daily life, to share or not. Healthy and balanced cuisine. The gîte: you stay in a room in the house. My name is Anne, I am 55 years old but have remained young in my head. I live in Calvisson in the Gard, a village between Nîmes and Montpellier Non-smoking host.

    Bonjour,

    Le but est aussi de partager des moments de vie au quotidien dans la joie et la bonne humeur !

    Il y a un piano, il est possible de partager sur ce plan. Je suis saxophoniste et j'apprends la trompette.
    Il y a beaucoup de musique à la maison, c'est vraiment ma passion, et j'aime chanter aussi.

    Côté communication, je parle français, espagnol et anglais. M'initie au portugais.
    Nous pouvons donc échanger dans ces différentes langues pour le plaisir de communiquer et de performer dans une langue étrangère.

    Côté loisirs, vélo, terrain de tennis privatisé, pétanque, table de ping-pong sont à disposition.
    Les randonnées en garrigue à proximité ainsi que la voie verte.
    Nous pouvons partager ces activités ensemble.
    Quant aux moments de détente, nous avons la chance d'avoir la mer à 30 minutes, la rivière aussi. Il y a de beaux endroits à découvrir dans la région.

    Spiritualité, méditation, positivité et sagesse font partie de mon quotidien, à partager ou pas.
    Cuisine saine et équilibrée.

    Le gîte : vous êtes logé dans une chambre dans la maison même et partagerons l'espace commun.

    Me concernant, je m'appelle Anne, j'ai 55 ans et suis restée jeune dans ma tête. Je vis à Calvisson dans le Gard, un village entre Nîmes et Montpellier. Je vois la vie positivement, elle me passionne !
    J'aime énormément la nature et vis en connexion avec elle. J'ai un fort penchant pour la spiritualité.
    Si nous avons ces points en commun, nous aurons ce petit plus pour évoluer sur notre chemin de vie.
    Non fumeur.
