Cherchez l'homme !!

I am a French national, but have lived in the UK for a number of years.I am very independent , financially and mentally but I love the company of sophisticated, cultured , affectionate ,mannered ,caring and funny men... Having said that, of course the chemistry element is vital if the catalyst is there.. This little je ne sais quoi..then who knows anything can happen !! Apart from that I am very happy with myself, have a good life, place in the UK and one in the South of France,near St.Tropez, friends, hobbies and two children. I am very vivacious, academic but not in a stuffy way (I hope) I am good company and have a sense of fun and even a good sense of humour I am told...
I am open minded, supportive, considerate and very affectionate. I am also very passionate in my opinions and my attitude,however I am hopefully tolerant and can change my mind if I think I have made an error of judgement.
I enjoy travelling, discovering new places, walking in the countryside or visiting new cities. I am fond of the theatre ,cinema, concerts, opera .I love yoga ,dancing , music specially french and afro-cuban which I love., but I am also open to suggestions.
I love good food, wine,but a pique-nique by the river is also enjoyable and a man who can cook is definitely attractive...It must be the apron...
PS: I am a free member, so don't have access to the names of the people who have made me favorite or tagged me, the best thing to do is to email me (cxxhaxxa11@xxxy.com) and I shall answer...
