Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Enjoying the simple life with our 2 girls, Jeanne and Lélia, born in 2011 and 2013, respectively.
Living in a farm, sharing with long-term roomates, organizing live music events monthly.
ABOUT ME
We are a French couple with 2 girls. Since 2010, we have settled in an old farm in Britanny (40 kms from Rennes, few kilometers from the "famous" forest of Brocéliande). Before, we spent 3 years in Australia. Good old times ! Sylvain is now a lecturer in environmental engineering and Aurore works in a school, assisting disable kids.
Our main interests are music for Sylvain (double-bass and electric bass player in jazz, funk, reggae bands) and photography for Aurore.
Our place used to be a farm with several buildings. One of them is our house, and one has become a concert hall and others workshops. "Roomates" came along the process with various skills (sculpture, masonry ...) and 7 other people are sharing the outdoors.
Animal lovers with cats, dogs, sheep ...
PHILOSOPHY

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Anywhere we've been, only good people welcomed us. Hope we can do the same towards the backpackers in France.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
We had so many good experiences since we're hosting people in our tiny flat in Rennes.
Hope we'll be able to keep doing it in our beautiful farm.
