This blog is dedicated to our love for the Charente-Maritime. We will share all our favourite things with you!
Valerie
Mother of a little Gabriel (9 years old), I worked for 16 years in the Paris region as a Large Export Saleswoman in the field of Agro-Foods for the Large Distribution until the end of 2018. I then decided, in consultation with my family, to change my professional life and lifestyle. Today, I wish to match my desires, my needs and my interests. In love with nature, having travelled a lot and loving contact, I chose to become the manager of a domain of 4 rural gîtes in Phiolin. This professional reconversion, this project of Life, were not born suddenly. They have been carefully thought through over the last 3 years, as well as my choice to settle in the beautiful region of Charente Maritime.
Fernando
Father of little Gabriel, during my youth I worked as a cameraman, photographer, editor and TV director in Patagonia, Argentina. I travelled for about ten years throughout Latin America before settling in France as a translator, editor and manager of a translation agency. During this period of extensive travel, I was able to meet many people of different origins, learn their language, get to know their culture, exchange ideas and live together. Our small estate and our 4 gites are for me the crystallisation of a dream, that of working closer to nature and the sea, and being able to receive people to help them discover a region, and above all to share good times!
