Cheers! After several years in Paris and elsewhere, I am very happy to be back in the region where I grew up, the Loire Valley. We are really happy to see our children grow up in the countryside with great spaces, Nature, a beautiful river at our feet! I'm a freelance editor My husband is a sound designer, the proximity to Paris makes it easy to get to his appointments. We fell in love with the house we bought. Old winery from 1850, with a bread oven, beautiful hanging gardens and two independent accesses.... We were happy by looking for antique tiles, chinting furniture, decor, so now we like to welcome people from all over our little village...
