My wife Sophie and I are travelling a lot, since decades (Europe, North Africa, Africa, Middle East, North America, Asia) , mainly by our own. So we are used and interested in meeting people from everywhere, with different cultures. Please note that OUR HOME IS NOT A FREE HOTEL! Our goal is contacts, not cooking and waching sheets...

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
For 2 main reasons : - welcoming people in our nice town "Le Mans" - meeting people when travelling: indeed, our usual way to sleep is camping or hostels, but we miss direct contact with people from the country, that we would like to improve
Music, Movies, and Books
Mainly all classical and jazz musics. Very various books.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
A tour (expedition) in North of Chad (Tibesti mountains)
What I Can Share With Hosts
- visiting Le Mans - share experiences in foreign countries
My Interests
Both of us are playing music (violon + flute) since years, in an orchestra, on classical and current music. We like to cycle: Sophie has ride from Atlantic Ocean in France to Black Sea : ~5 000 km !
