Description
We are a pleasant family who lives in the Alps, in Upper Savoy, between Annecy and Geneva. We've got 2 kids : Théo 13 years old and Lola 10 years old. There are both fluent in english thanks to our formers aupairs.
We are an active family. We love do a lot of things : travel, sport... and we love sharing those moments with others people. It's a good way to discover our culture, our country.... In addition we love cooking and it's a good occasion to explain the french food culture ;).
We try to grow our own vegetables in our garden and green house. We try more and more to orient our way of consuming in a permacultural way.
We've got a nice dog, Oupette. She is really nice and loves play. And we had addopted a 6 years old cat : Cookie. We've got equally 3 chickens.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live in a house, on the countryside. We have a garden with a pool and 2 bigs greenhouses. On a side of our ground there is a field with a forest and on the middle a river where the kids love to go playing.
We developed our environment around permaculture. We did different kinds of wicking beds, technical we learned in a farm in Australia.
