If you are lucky you can join him :)

Marije was born and raised in the east of the Netherlands and studied Business Psychology. In 2002, in search of her roots, she met Paul in the hilly countryside of the Minervois and never left.

Nothing in life is certain, except that you can share love. With the people you meet, with the animals, with nature and with yourself.

Living in Velieux, Marije has learned to live more and more in this sense. Taking care of their three lively daughters and their three horses, in contact with the people she massages, taking care of the nutrition, in contact with the locals, and most of all shaping their wonderful place Petit Paradis and taking care of its visitors.
