Description Neighborhood About Us Destination

Description

We are located in Les Ponts de Cé/Angers (Unesco World Heritage site), in the Loire Valley. This is a very good starting point to visit the renown vineyards and castles in the region. We are 90 mn from Paris with the high speed train (TGV) and about 90 minutes drive to the beaches of the Atlantic coast as well.
Our house is a one of a kind (was once shown on TV), freshly renovated. It has 4 floors (mid-levels, accessible through a few flights of stairs). On the first floor, we have a vaulted living room with a large plasma screen and home cinema, a vaulted dining room with a view on the terrace, and a large fully-equipped kitchen with US fridge. On the next floor there's my office (I work as a freelance translator), a large hallway, a bathroom (which we hope to renovate soon!) and restrooms. This level has access to the garage. On the next level are the master bedroom with many windows, walk-in closet and bathroom with restrooms. The last level has 3 bedrooms (2 kids + guestroom). Our yard is quite large (1900 square meters/20450 ft²), we have a large vegetable garden and a nice swing set and sandpit. We also have an Intex "easy set" pool which can be used during summer.

Neighborhood

We live in a quiet neigborhood, a quick walk from a shopping center (groceries, bakery, hair salon, post office, etc.) and bus stop which will take you to downtown Angers in 5 to 10 mn. You can also cycle to town or the surroundings (alongside the Loire for example) using our bikes. The highway is also a few mn from home, so you can easily drive out of the city.

About Us

We are a young couple in our early 30's. I (Karine) work as a freelance translator and my husband, Thomas, works for the county in HR management. We have two sons, aged 2 and 4, as well as a dog (Golden retriever, who stays with our family when we are away). We enjoy traveling very much and would love to take our kids see the world! We are both fluent in English, and I can speak some Spanish and German.
We like new technologies and care about the environment (so you'll see nice techie equipment indoor but also water recuperaors outdoor!).

Destination

preferably English speaking countries - We love traveling to the USA, but we're open to suggestions! Non simultaneous swap possible.
