Description
Share experiences and ideas with other travellers. We live in a medium sized house with a fair garden that both need some tender loving care and a slap of paint or a extra bit of weeding (don't get the two mixed up!)

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Castres is a middle-sized city with a good social life but none of the busy-ness of big cities. Our family enjoys playing board games (at least when we can drag them away from their phones!) We are quite well travelled and enjoy sharing our experiences with other travellers in English, French and a splattering of some other European languages.
Help
We are a family of five who live in Castres near to Toulouse in the south of France. We have a house and garden that need some care and our children (Eliott 18, Mila 21 and Zelie 24 who're away at Universities) who love speaking English. Valerie is an English teacher and David (myself) is an educateur specialise... I look forward to explaining what that is!
