We are Peter Feenstra<\/strong> and Hans Kouwenberg<\/strong>, two \u201cyoung men\u201d living in the Gard in the south of France<\/strong>. We are originally from Amsterdam, Holland, but in 2007 we moved (first) to Ray-sur-Sa\u00f4ne in Burgundy, taking our company with us. Our company developed navigation and GPS software for inland skippers. We sold our company in 2015 and we\u2019re retired now (although Peter is still working occasionally).<\/p>\n

In Ray, we bought the \u201cDomaine du Bac<\/strong>\u201d, a bunch of 3 houses, where we spent our time gardening, travelling and writing. In 2022 we decided to sell the Domaine du Bac in Ray-sur-Sa\u00f4ne to new, Swiss, owners.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the sales of the Domaine, we decided NOT to buy a house, but to RENT, to be more flexible. So we ended up in a rather nice appartment (or so we thought)\u00a0 in the city of N\u00eemes, a very lively and young town in the “Gard” department. There we were at a walking distance of the exiting city centre that combined its antique buildings with the vibrant atmosphere of a student town.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The rather nice appartment appeared to have rather awkward upstairs neighbours, that managed to keep us awake most every night. When it became clear that they were not going to be more quiet, we let a house in Barjac, in the country side. We were sorry to leave the town of N\u00eemes, but in Barjac we were able to sleep again. We moved in on the 22nd of November 2023, so Barjac has been our home town for two years now.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
