Company information

After a career spent in industry in Paris, I decided to change my horizons, to settle on the Arcachon bay and to open an establishment allowing me to share with my guests and make them discover this wonderful region. I thus return to my first love: welcoming tourists. Of Scottish origin through my mother, born in Reading near London UK - no one is perfect :), and bathed by this double culture, I love meeting people from all walks of life and sharing moments in all kindness.
