About the host
Hosted by Alison and Mike Homer
Mike and Alison are English and have been living in France for almost 20 years. Mike was a teacher, and Alison worked at Airbus in Toulouse, but recently retired so now has far more time to enjoy this amazing area!
Why they chose this property
We decided to move to France in 2005 whilst our daughters were still young enough to learn the language. Alison formerly worked for Rolls-Royce and it seemed logical to move near to the aerospace centre of Toulouse. Two years research and many visits later brought us to Rouede. Within an hour of Toulouse and yet close to the mountains. Alison fell in love with the house as soon as she saw it, although it was covered in snow at the time and we had no idea what the views were like until we revisited in the Summer to make an offer. We have found the people in the village very welcoming and we have developed friendships over here. Mike enjoys walking in the hills and mountains and Alison is a member of a local choir.
What makes this property unique
The House is located in a very quiet and friendly village. The views and local walks sold the property to us. The weather is warm from April through to the end of October with a "hot bit" in the middle. September is a particularly lovely month to be sat out in the garden or in the pool. We usually can swim from April to the end of October. Winter doesn't really show itself until January and February, the winter season seems short here and we rarely get large falls of snow.
