  • Description

    Description

    We are a family of 7 : 2 women and 5 children from 8 to 17. We live in the country, near Montreal. We have a dog, 2 cats, 2 rats and 3 hermit crabs. I love the place where we leave, surrounded by trees and corn fields, and also by a river. I’m a chiropractor and my clinic is beside my house. You would have a room on the second floor, with a view at the back and the swimming pool.

    We are french speakers, but for 5 of us, our english is good enough to have conversations. Welcome!
