About Me

We live near Pau, in the South-West of France, near Spain. We have 3 children and 3 grand children. We spend summer in Lozère.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Of course, we know that most couchsurfers are much younger than us... but we have always travelled on our own; we don't like organized trips and we want to meet people and to know their way of life when we are visiting a country. So couchsurfing appeared as a good opportunity to have more chances!
"If you travel without meeting the others, you don't travel; you just move" (Alexa ndra David-Neel)

Interests

We like travelling. As we live near Pyrenees, we often go in the mountains for walking or skiing. We also like cycling and gardening.
