    Description

    We live in the Pilat Regional Park at an altitude of 1,000 m, 20 km south of St. Etienne and 80 km from Lyon.
    We are over 60 years old, and our daughters no longer live at home. We have an old house and still need some work done. We have a guest bedroom with a separate bathroom. We are retired.
    We have five grandchildren under the age of 7. We often babysit them.
    There are some beautiful hiking and mountain biking trails starting from the house.
    Our living environment is very pleasant.

    Nous habitons dans le Parc Régional du Pilat à 1000 m d'altitude, à 20 km au Sud de St Etienne et à 80 km de Lyon.
    Nous avons plus de 60 ans et nos filles n'habitent plus à la maison. Nous avons une maison ancienne et toujours quelques travaux à faire. Nous disposons d'une chambre d'ami avec salle de bain indépendante. Nous sommes retraités.
    Nous avons 5 petits enfants de moins de 7 ans. Nous les gardons souvent.
    Il y a de très beaux circuits pédestres/VTT au départ de la maison.
    Notre cadre de vie est très agréable.
