  Beschreibung

  Despite what is indicated on the website, we are not looking for an au pair.
  
  We live in a house in Thonon-les-Bains, a small city of 35 000 inhabitants, by the Geneva Lake and just next to the mountains (french Alps) : a beautiful area.
  (Easy connexion from Geneva, international airport)
  
  There is always lots to do : renovation in the house, cleaning, gardening, ...
  
  We have a garden with fruits and vegetables and a henhouse.
  500 m from the lake side : in summer swimsuit essential :)
  
  The family consists of
  - I (Marie-Cécile), the mom.
  - Marie-Adélaïde ( a girl), 19 years. She likes reading books and goes to Geneva University…. She needs to practice english.
  - Pierre-Gaspard ( a boy), 17 years. He iq a geek now. He is a real teenager ;) He needs to practice english and italian.
  - Josselin (a boy), 15 years. He plays the piano and does a lot of gyms. He needs to practice english and italian.
  - two cats doing their life inside and outside.
  - Chicken in the henhouse.
  
  We cook a lot by our own (less as possible industrial food).
  
  We are ecoresponsible as much as possible, and try to make no waste (food, clothes, water, energy, ...). We use the more we can the plants, fruits, vegetables coming from the garden.
  Lunch and dinner are shared with the family, sharing a meal together is an important thing in France. We are an omnivorus family (meat, milk, butter, cheese, egg, wheat, pasta, rice, fish, vegetables, fruits, ...) :) So think about if you can not adapt your diet...
  Workawayers came several times at home, others come and visit us when in the area, ...
