Bedürfnisse und Tiere

Tiere hüten | 5 Katzen | Nutztiere

A word at the cats, I never intended to have 5, 1 would have been enough, but they all came by different routes- needing a home. The last one Sol (I found on mid summer eve) in my laundry basket- a tiny 5 or 6 week old kitten, no idea how he got there, full grown now, a very knowing and affectionate creature, anyway they are all different but all just need food and kindness. The chickens and ducks just need to be let out in the morning, they have the freedom of the garden, fed and closed up at night, they go in on there own.

Haus

a small house on one level with 2 bedrooms- home of an artist, not an Ikea showcase. I have no immediate neighbors, but am at the end of a small mountain village. The garden is large, with the backdrop of a forest and a small river running its length. Main source of heating is a wood stove, which I keep going all winter, there is also an open fire and an electric radiator. Constant hot water. this is a very peaceful place, with few cars, although you can hear the hum of a small woodyard, 100 metres away.The surrounding area is what I would call wild and very beautiful. The nearest village with shops is 10 minutes away by car, Esperzel, the nearest ski station 30 minutes. The nearest main small town for general shopping is Quillan, which covers most needs- shops, bars restaurants, it is a gentle place- you would need a car really.. This is an area steeped in history and natural beauty. Can be cold in winter, sometimes snow- hot in summer, with the heat tempered by the river

This is a tranquil place- if you like the high life, its not for you. If you like the natural world and all it has to offer in terms of walking, cycling- just looking or "being" in nature then you will enjoy life here in all its colours and seasons. As an artist I find it to be the perfect place to be creative, so if you want to get your creative juices flowing it's a good place to be, although as i live alone just now, i am happy to go into town a couple of times a week to engage with my fellow humans. The villagers in Belfort are nice enough but there are no long conversations- about 25 people live here.

Tourismus und Freizeit

Theater

Vast amount of history here- we are in Cathar country, but the history goes back to roman times and there are many ruins in the region. Monsiguer is 30 minutes away and there are some enormous old castle ruins to explore. Rennes le Chateau 40 minutes away. For me it is just the elemental beauty of the place which never ceases to amaze, i am always left feeling speachless

I had such a wonderful time looking after Patty's home and animals. It is a place I could see myself living too. Patty is very kind and I enjoyed spending a bit of time with her. The area is beautiful too. Very peaceful. There is a woodworker across the street which you can hear sometimes but it didn't bother me at all. There are many places to visit within an hour, although I ended up just relaxing around the house with the animals. The nearest big supermarket is half an hour away. A lovely pizzeria, a lake to swim and a small supermarket are fifteen minutes away. The cats are all very lovely and none of them are any trouble. The chickens and duck were easy to look after too. Friendly. The house stayed relatively cool during the day and the temperature cools off at night so even in summer you'll have a good night's sleep. If it is hot, there is a stream at the back of the garden where you can sit or lie in! The house itself is basic and not an Ikea home. But it has everything you need. It was fine for me! I would definitely go back again. Thank you again Patty. Wishing you truly all the best.

Patricia is a wonderful host! We couldn't have dreamed of a better home-sitting experience. She welcomed us warmly with a wood fire and a delicious dinner. We had a really good time with her on our first day before she left. Her house and garden are gorgeous, a little fairy tale paradise surrounded by rivers, forests and cliffs. She makes amazing pebbles sculptures of wolves and foxes and she decorated the house herself and made it very warm and cozy. The cats Lola, Waggy, Jeff and Kev are all adorable, calm and affectionate. They love cuddles but they are also independent and with very distinct personalities, from the young playful fellow to the old wise one! We had a really great time with them and already miss them. The ducks and chicken are also very cute and funny, they walk freely in the garden (and they give delicious eggs!). Patricia really cares for all her animals and takes good care of them all, as well as the wild birds. There are several stunning hikes to do in the area and a very nice trail that starts from the village. It's a perfect place for a nature break or artistic retreat surrounded by lovely furry and feathery friends :)

Grenoble, France - November 2020

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour chez Patty ! La maison est simple et fonctionnelle et en prime décorée des oeuvres de Patty. Le chauffage au poêle nécessite un peu de rigueur pour penser à régulièrement l'alimenter mais sa chaleur était très agréable ! En ce mois de novembre l'ensoleillement était un peu restreint (de 10h à 15h), mais nous avons pu profiter de la terrasse, du grand terrain et de la forêt environnante ensoleillée plus longuement. Concernant les animaux, très peu de choses à faire, il suffit de nourrir les chats et pour les poules et le canard, simplement d'ouvrir et fermer le poulailler chaque jour et les nourrir. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié les moments passés avec Patty à notre arrivée et départ avec des discussions très intéressantes (majoritairement en anglais) et surtout pour la bienveillance et la confiance qu'elle nous a donné, en plus d'être restée très disponible durant tout notre séjour. Nous recommandons donc ce homesitting !
