    Description

    Bonjour! We are a French-South African familiy leaving in Floirac next to Bordeaux. Oliver is South African (and German) and Carole is French. We have an 10 years old daughter, Janice. We speak French English and sometimes German at home. We also have a cat, Fifi ! We are artists and run a theater company. We love travelling abroad. We are a very peaceful familiy with a good "discipline" (we go to bed early, we get up early). We would prefer hosting a female workawayer to look after ou daughter but it can be anybody to look after our cat.

    If you want to learn French there are many schools in Bordeaux. there are so many things to do around Bordeaux. We can lend you a bike and you are in 10/15 minutes in the center of town. There is also a bus next to our place. It takes 10 minutes to go into town. We are very happy to show you our favorite place next to Bordeaux. If you are interested in teaching we can organise something with the school of our daughter.
