About Us

We are a Franco-British couple that has recently returned to live in France, after a long spell in the UK.We have two well behaved children(most of the times) born in 2002 and 2005,they are well travelled and are adaptable to new surroundings and locales.
Nina works as an air cabin crew and I(Sebastien) work as a dispatch rider.
We love nature,hiking ,swimming,running,scubadive(warm water only) on occasion,good books,good food and to have fun as a family.
Our household is bilingual French and English and so are the books!
We love to travel and experience new things and we always try to live like the natives on holidays.
Home exchanging seems to be the ideal way for us to travel now as our children need a bit more home comfort.
Feel free to email us if our listing is of any interest to you and your family.
We would love to get to know you better by email or telephone before the exchange takes place.
We have done our first double exchange this past summer(2007), thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would love to find a good exchange for the winter of 2007-2008 or summer of 2008.

Destination
