Marielle

Born in the heart of Auvergne, I slowly drifted south—first through Lyon, and finally settling in sunny Montélimar, in the beautiful Drôme region of southern France. I’m a proud mom of three grown sons and a joyful grandmother of five little adventurers.

Teaching and sharing knowledge have always been at the core of who I am. After a long and fulfilling career within the French National Education system, I am now embracing an active and passionate retirement. Curious, energetic, and always on the move, I love combining my passions for outdoor activities (hiking, cycling, cultural discoveries) with my love for the French language and culture.

My husband Philippe shares my love for human connection and warm hospitality. Together, we turn every outing into a moment of laughter, discovery, and genuine connection. Our family home in Montélimar is full of life—echoing with the laughter of loved ones, lively conversations under the wisteria-covered terrace over an apéritif, and joyful splashes around the pool.

Because here, we truly believe that life’s pleasures are meant to be shared.
