    Description

    Welcome to our little family at the foot of Mont-Blanc, the ideal setting for mountain activities.

    I am a mountain guide and live alone with my 6-year-old son. I would be happy to share outdoor activities (climbing, alpinism, mountain biking, etc.), my knowledge of the high mountains, and my passion for music, cinema and literature. The three summer months are full of festivals. I am looking for someone who wants to practice speaking French, even though I speak fluent English and a little Spanish.
    My son is very cheerful, sociable and curious. He has a large vocabulary. He enjoys company and cycling, climbing, swimming, playing all kinds of board games and construction games, and even cooking.We live in a flat in the centre of the village of Les Houches (7 km from Chamonix), opposite a bus stop and five minutes walk from shops and the train station.

    Bienvenue dans notre petite famille au pied du Mont-Blanc, cadre idéal à la pratique d’activités de montagne.

    Je suis guide de haute montagne et je vis seul avec mon fils de 6 ans.
    Je serai heureux de partager des activités de pleine nature (escalade, alpinisme, vtt…), ma connaissance de la haute montagne, ainsi que ma passion de la musique, du cinéma et de la littérature. Les trois mois d’été sont riches en festivals. Je recherche une personne souhaitant pratiquer la langue française même si je parle anglais couramment et un peu d’espagnol.
    Mon fils est très rieur, sociable et curieux. Il a beaucoup de vocabulaire. Il aime la compagnie et faire du vélo, de l’escalade, se baigner, jouer à toute sorte de jeux de société, ou de construction et même cuisiner.
    Nous vivons dans un appartement dans le centre du village des Houches (à 7 km de Chamonix) en face d’un arrêt de bus et à 5 minutes à pied des commerces et de la gare de train.

    I would be delighted to welcome a trustworthy person in June, July and August to look after my son when I am working and he is not at school. He goes to school from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, until July 3. My son will be away for two weeks in July and two weeks in August, which will leave a lot of free time.

    Je souhaite accueillir une personne de confiance en Juin, Juillet et Août afin d’assurer la garde de mon fils lorsque je travaille et qu’il n’est pas à l’école. Il va à l’école de 8h30 à 16h30 les lundis, mardis, jeudis et vendredis, jusqu'au 3 juillet.
    Mon fils sera absent 2 semaines en juillet et 2 semaines en aout, ce qui offrira alors beaucoup de temps libre.
