About Ruud en Arna

Arna Op ten Berg is my wife and my name is Ruud Truijens. We are both in our sixties. Since February 2007 we are owners of Peyrelevade on the border of the Dordogne and the Lot-et-Garonne. With the purchase of Peyrelevade, our “I'm leaving” began, in short, the dream that came true. Arna started at HALO in The Hague and ended up in education. After studying economics as a teacher, both subjects were combined. Later she made the switch to the MBO, where she works as a teacher of business economics. Arna combines her work in the Netherlands with life in France.
I went straight from high school to the Marine Corps. After 6 years that was enough and the switch was made to entrepreneurship in the hospitality industry in The Hague. 8 years later I sold my company. Eventually I came to work in the world of sports, including positions as manager at the Haagsche Rugby Club and coach of sports talents at the Olympic Support Center. My favorite sport is rugby.
