The Hong Kong guests were put up in this beautiful weekend home of Bernard & Michele Calmettes who are the most hospitable hosts. Bernard single handedly rebuilt this house from essentially a shelf, adding to it bit by bit to make it a 5-bedroom house complete with grounds, swimming pool, a large work shed etc Their family obviously had good memories here while the children grew up. It is located on a knoll in the beautiful surrounding of Salles-Courbaties. The environment is pristine, and it is so quiet we can hear the symphony of breeze, insects & birds throughout the day.Bernard is an Occupational Therapist, Michele a Social Worker and they both work for a center that caters to mildly retarded adults, about 1.5 hour away. Very dedicated, they have a small house near work and commute every weekend for the most of 20 years. This is the walking defintion of adjusting the fine balance of work vs play, or in our daughters lingo .... 'Getting a Life'!
Thank you Bernard & Michele!
