Thierry Olive (Love is in the meadow) soon to retire? “I want to…”
A radical change of life for those who are preparing to retire little by little. And thanks to this gîte opening in 2024, Thierry Olive intends to make up for lost time… And take time for his wife! “I want to discover the products of our region, go to Alsace for example… France is beautiful and I don’t know it”he explained.
Regardless, he recently told West France that he was not “not in a hurry to sell”. However, the farmer still recognized “having difficulty keeping up” because he feels “too broken and tired”. But there is no question of him giving up his farm to the first comer: “First of all, we have to get along well with the buyers and not do anything with the farm. And then, if I have a crush on the person, then I could well accompany them for a few months”.
