    Hello,

The house is located in a small village of 2,000 inhabitants near Nantes (35 km) and the Atlantic ocean (30 km). We have for you a huge garden and a swimming pool (heated from june to september). A small supermarket is located in the village but we do the main groceries in an other town (10 km) once or twice a week.

    This host offers a language exchange
    Bastien et Thibaut parlent couramment anglais, c'est plus compliqué quant à nous. Par conséquent, des compétences en français (mêmes basiques) sont un plus. Bastien and Thibaut speak english fluently. It's a bit complicated for us though, so it would be really nice if you had some french basis (even just few words).
