About us

Since 2015 we've been living and working in France. We run a gite chambre d'hote (bed and breakfast) in a small township called Les moulins, the house is situated on a lake called Lac de Panneciere in the Morvan region. (Lesmoulinsauborddulac.com) In addition to that Hans runs a small business as a handyman.

Although we love being there in the summertime’s we have come to notice that we'd like to spend a little more time with our children back in Holland, especially since we became grandparents in 2018!

This has led us to buy this lovely small house in Zuid-Scharwoude (a small village near Alkmaar). We spend our wintertime’s here in Zuid-Scharwoude and from March to October we'll be in France. In this period from March to October we're letting the house in Zuid-Scharwoude out to holiday makers.

We hope you will enjoy the house and its surroundings as much as we do!
