About Us

We are a family of four:
- Richard (49) Management Consultant
- Andrée (48) Management Consulting firm owner & current student of the Cordon Bleu cooking school (Unfortunately, Andrée is allergic to cats)
- Dominic (12) loves to read and takes pride in helping others.
- Mireille (11) likes reading, drawing and playing with her brother

We don’t smoke and we like enjoying life. We place a high importance on respect of people. Likewise, we respect the things and homes of others. Your home would be well taken care of, as I’m sure you would of ours.

Destination

Andrée is taking a course at the Cordon Bleu school in Paris so the dates must align with that course. Proximity and / or accessibility to transport to the school is important. There is the possibility of a non-simultaneous exchange.
