Your host, Séverine

I like dreaming in front of our beautiful landscapes, gardening, cooking, rescuing mistreated animals, bringing old objects back to life, walking in the Bay, on the beaches or in the forest, helping children "blocked" with learning; at 60, I'm enjoying my retirement.
I feel good at home; the garden is large, laid out in all different terraces and the house is not large but warm. The animals I saved have become adorable with everyone, playful and very cuddly

Rules

Everyone thinks and acts as he wants as long as he respects the other whether he is human, animal or vegetable.
Aggressive animals are not allowed. The animals in the house are all dewormed, vaccinated, treated for fleas and ticks, sterilized and groomed. Please deworm and protect your pet from fleas and ticks one week before your arrival.
If you do not want to see my animals, everything is provided.
Please do not leave waste on the ground (cigarettes, papers, etc.); selective sorting bin bags are provided at your accommodation and there are bins and ashtrays everywhere outside, near the seats.
The house is non-smoking but a smoking area is installed in the outer building.
Please do not abuse the rainwater from the buried tank; even if 10m3 seems like a lot, my animals and plants in the garden need it too.
If you easily lose the keys, I will open the gate for you. Otherwise keys available and beep for the automatic gate.
I can keep the children or your pet at home during an outing but I want to know about any health problems and that you remain reachable on the phone.
Electricity, drinking water, gas are free for normal consumption; in case of overconsumption, I will ask you to pay at cost.
Breakfast between 6:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. and preparation of picnics (between €5 and €12/person); notify the day before before 5 p.m. please.
