    Description

    House in a quiet valley crossed by a river. We are a couple with a child, cats, dogs, and chickens. We love to travel, but we can't do it as often as we would like. Failing that, we would like to open our door to people who want to share our respective cultures, in exchange for helping out at home and with our animals. We live in a quiet place, next to an equestrian center. We are close to a small town (10 minutes by car) and an hour from Lyon. It is also a region that allows you to visit many cultural sites, small villages, ponds, and forests.

    Maison au calme d'un vallon traversé d'une rivière. Nous sommes un couple avec un enfant, des chats, des chiens, des poules. Nous aimons voyager, mais nous ne pouvons pas le faire aussi souvent que nous le souhaiterions. A défaut, nous souhaitons ouvrir notre porte à des personnes désireuses de partager nos cultures respectives, en échange d'un coup de main à la maison et avec nos animaux.
    Nous habitons un lieu calme, à côté d'un centre équestre. Nous sommes proche d'une petite ville (10min en voiture) et à une heure de Lyon. C'est également une région qui permet de visiter pleins de sites culturels, de petits villages d étangs et de forêts.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We speak French, Spanish, and English. We enjoy cooking and discovering new things. We live in the heart of the countryside, next to a riding school, which is open to the public. Our expertise is educational (language courses) and cultural. We enjoy photography exhibitions, and we go there regularly. For our part, we ideally want to communicate in Spanish so that our child can understand it as much as possible.

    Nous aimons faire la cuisine et en découvrir de nouvelles.
    Nous sommes au cœur de la campagne, à côté d'un centre équestre, dont l'accès est libre.

    De notre côté, nous souhaitons idéalement échanger en espagnol pour que notre enfant l'entende le plus possible.

  • Help

    Help

    The house being large, we are looking for a motivated person to help us with household chores (vacuuming, cooking, laundry, etc.) and help us feed the animals (chickens, cats). Our vision is to share these tasks, or even do them together. To introduce each other to our respective cuisines, our languages, etc.

    La maison étant grande, nous cherchons une personne motivée pour nous aider dans les tâches ménagères (aspirateur, cuisine, lessive...) et nous aider à nourrir les animaux (poules, chats)
    Notre vision est de partager ces tâches, voire de les faire ensemble. De faire découvrir nos cuisines respectives, nos langues, etc.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We offer a furnished room in a detached house with a garden. We share a bathroom. We think it's nicer to eat together, but it's not a requirement.

    Nous proposons une chambre meublée, dans une maison individuelle avec jardin. Partage de la salle de bain.
    Nous pensons qu'il est plus sympa de prendre les repas ensemble, mais ce n est pas une obligation .

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Horseback riding, walks, visiting villages, ruins. There are buses, but they're not the ideal means of transportation as there aren't many of them. Cycling or getting around by bike is possible. We are a non-smoking house, we like peace and quiet and quiet individual moments. We work a lot, so we're not the kings of long evenings. Respect for everyone and the place, and helping each other are important to us.

    Du cheval, des promenades, visite de villages, ruines.
    Il y a des bus, mais ce n est pas le moyen de transport idéal car il n y en a pas beaucoup. Possibilité de faire du vélo ou de se déplacer à vélo.
    Nous sommes une maison non fumeur, nous aimons le calme et des moments individuels tranquilles. Nous travaillons beaucoup, nous ne sommes donc pas les rois des soirées prolongées.
    Le respect de chacun et des lieux et l'entre aide sont importants pour nous.
