More about us

Both retired, I was an engineer, and Marie-Noëlle was a teacher (latin, greek and french litterature).
Our two children are grown up now and we have two grand-daughters, all of them are in France mainland.
Most part of our life we worked abroad (Tunisia, Senegal), then we came back for a while to motherland (Grenoble in the french Alps). After that, back to the sun in Reunion island where we have been working for a couple of years.
We love hiking, swimming and snorkeling in the lagoon, going to the movies, concerts and theater.
We enjoy playing music : piano, saxophone.

Where is it?

Neighbourhood

We are at the end of a cul-de-sac, that means the area is very quiet.
We have lovely neighbours, actually we are friend with two of them, and you can rely on them if necessary.
We are in the heights of La Possession, 2 km from the main road, 15 min. from St Denis (the main town, 125000 inhabitants), 20 min. from the beaches.
Reunion island is an overseas french department with breathtaking landscapes, where people are very friendly. Our National Park is part of the UNESCO World Heritage list.
It is a paradise for hikers and nature lovers. In the same day you can hike and admire the volcano (2600 m) and then have a rest on the beach, gazing at the sunset on the Indian Ocean !
All of the ethnic groups comprising the island are immigrant populations that have come to Réunion from Europe, Asia, and Africa over the centuries, since the earliest days of the island's history (1648). It results in a nice melting pot of creole, indian, chinese, african, and french culture. « Living together » is a natural fact here.
Cultural life is quite rich : theatre, dance, music (classical, jazz, ethnic, and local sega and maloya), with events , exhibitions, concerts and festivals in a lot of spots all around the island, all year long.
We are close to Mauritius island (200 km eastern) and not far from Madagascar (500 km western).
Reunion is about 2500 sqkm, 80 km high, 50km wide.
