Our children do not go to school, we are interested to know different cultures and languages.
We would be very happy if our children could share life with anglophones for a while.
If you love the countryside, you will be happy. We live in a small hamlet and our property is very green. It is a place where biodiversity reigns: You can observe birds, insects, frogs, lizards ... etc ...
Our neighbor even has a pond that he shares with the curious.
We do not live far from the sèvre, green river. The city of Saint Laurent sur Sèvre which is 20 minutes from the house is breathtaking.
We live near puy du fou, favorite park of the French for 3 years.
The Atlantic Ocean is 2 hours away, with beautiful places like the peninsula of Noirmoutier or Ile de Ré.

Nos enfants n'allant pas à l'école, nous sommes intéressés pour connaître différentes cultures et langues.
Nous serions très heureux si nos enfants pouvaient partager la vie avec des anglophones pendant un temps.

Nous n'habitons pas loin de la sèvre, rivière verdoyante. La ville de saint Laurent sur sèvre qui est à 20 minutes de la maison est à couper le souffle.
