THE HOST / FRIENDS AND GUESTS

"Les Amis des Ourtets" is a French registered organisation with "charity" status that helps to promote quality holiday breaks at affordable prices in a non-judgemental and convivial atmosphere where people can talk, relax, read, listen to music or just meditate in a corner of the garden.

Though originally from the South of France, I am well travelled and I have lived in Britain for over 25 years. Therefore I have an intimate knowledge of cross-cultural differences. This enables me to make guests feel at home wherever they come from and give them an insight into the country and the region they are visiting. As a qualified language trainer and published linguist, I can offer you the opportunity to combine your holiday with some study. Please ask for details.

Every effort is being made for guests to feel they are staying at a friend's house and at the same time feel as free as if they were in their own home. The B&B starched up feel is definitely out.

Particularly welcome are members of community groups interested in outdoor pursuits such as hiking, cycling, motor-cycling, swimming, horse-riding etc.

It is also recommended to members of support groups for people who live with HIV and/or anyone in need of a relaxing and restful holiday in a non-sexist and non-racist environment.
