À propos de nous

Peter & Diana are retired, now into their 11th. year of living at La Citadelle.
We have three children, all who have long ago fled the nest. Two of our family are now living in and around Los Angeles, each with their respective families.Twice a year we endeavour to visit and have family time together. Each visit we try to encompass with a home exchange. So far we have had 6 home exchanges, each memorable for the right reasons. The opportunity to live within a community, meet new friends, share in local pursuits , gives an added dimension to vacation time. We respect the homes into which we are invited to exchange, and expect a mutual caring for our home.
Before retirement Peter had an active life which did require travel. He provided a turnkey operation in the entertainment and leisure market. Mainly within Britain and also in Europe.
Now travel allows the chance to see the new ideas, marvel or criticise the new concepts in the leisure market.
People have concern about speaking French. We've never mastered the art of speaking French, but you can get by as the French appreciate you trying and are welcoming to Etrangers.

Destination

We are retired and have no fixed agenda. A car exchange is required. Our preference is for California, other destinations will be considered.
