I'm a French woman who used to travel a lot, mainly sailing.
I still love travelling but I've settled in France for a while, rising up my two children , 18 and 14.

I enjoy a peaceful and joyful life, and not to take things too seriously !

Please note that I live 15 km from La Rochelle. Although there are a few buses and trains to La Jarrie, it is easier to access us if you have a car or a bicycle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people and exchange ideas. I would find great for my kids that foreign people come to stay home and tell us about their country, their lives and adventures !

I also would be happy to provide confort and a warm welcome to travellers who would fancy sharing our family life for a few days.
