The Alps

My next destination was the french Alps, and a little village called Martinville. Here I am trying out an au pair job with two children, a little girl who is six, and a little boy who is two. 

They are very full on, she is a lovely little girl although very headstrong, and the boy is a lot to handle. The location is pretty cool so I am still working out how long I will stay and if it will work out.

The Village

I went for a little explore of the village, it is very pretty and the occupants friendly, although they don't speak a word of English. It is a very small village, a collection of houses and a church, no shops. Down the mountain there is a larger village where the children go to school, it has a small supermarket, a post shop, a bank and a few other essential places including a cafe. With no car as yet I haven't had the chance to explore the place, but at least there are some shops somewhat nearby.
