Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our region is known as California for surfing. The weather is nice most of the time. Winter ski resorts, being close, it is possible to go skiing by the day.
We will be delighted to introduce you to sailing on our boat which is 5 minutes from the house.
The reputation of the beaches of the Landes is well established. The Basque country is 15 minutes from us. Spain is 40 minutes' drive away. We will, of course, sail together on our sailing boat.
We really hope to be able to share with you the joy of living of our family which you will be part of during your stay with us. We will be able to discuss our past and future trips. And we will endeavor to make you discover French life in the South-West, which is a region where most French people would like to live!
Notre région est connue pour être la Californie européenne en ce qui concerne le surf. La météo est clémente la plupart du temps. L'hiver les stations de ski, étant proches, il est possible d'aller skier à la journée.
Nous serons ravis de vous faire découvrir la voile sur notre bateau qui est à 5 minutes de la maison.
La réputation des plages landaises n'est plus à faire. Le pays basque est à 15 minutes de chez nous. L'Espagne est à 40 minutes de route. Nous naviguerons bien sûr ensemble sur notre voilier.
Nous espérons vraiment pouvoir vous faire partager la joie de vivre de notre famille dont vous ferez partie lors de votre séjour chez nous. Nous pourrons échanger sur nos voyages passés et à venir respectifs. Et nous nous attacherons à vous faire découvrir la vie à la française dans le Sud-ouest qui est une région où la plupart des français aimeraient habiter!
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
- Spend some time with our 4 children to play and introduce them to other cultures and at the same time, give parents some free time. ;)
- Hector and Louison used to be in a Montessori only english speaking school but hey lost a lot their english since they left this school. We would be glad to make them improve it again. We would like them to learn a bit of spanish.
Christophe speaks Russian but does not practice it anymore. He would be happy to be able to do it again.
- Help with the maintenance of the house and the garden, eventually some light building.
- Participate in the preparation of meals to discover new flavors, help to go to shop (food) and everyday life (house cleaning when needed for example). We established for example the tradition that our workawayers cook the diner every evening. It is a great help for Clémence.
If you can not help in all of these domains, don't hesitate to contact us anyway. If you help us for children for example, it will help us in building by saving time to do it!
- Passer un peu de temps avec nos 4 enfants pour jouer et leur faire connaître d'autres cultures et en même temps, laisser un peu de temps libre aux parents. ;)
- Les aînés étaient dans une école anglophone Montessori mais ils ont beaucoup perdu depuis qu'ils ont quitté cette école. Leur permettre de pratiquer d'avantage l'anglais, mais aussi l'espagnol.
Christophe parle russe mais ne le pratique plus. Il serait content également de pouvoir le faire à nouveau.
- Aider un peu à l'entretien de la maison et du jardin, éventuellement à faire quelques aménagements à l'extérieur de la maison.
- Participer à la préparation des repas pour faire découvrir de nouvelles saveurs, aider pour faire les courses et la vie de tout les jours.(ménage par exemple) Nous avons, par exemple, instauré la tradition que le workawayer prépare les dîners chaque soir pour aider Clémence.
Nous recherchons aussi quelqu'un pour nous aider à faire quelques aménagements sur la maison.
Si vous ne pouvez pas nous aider dans tous ces domaines, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter malgré tout. Si, par exemple, vous gardez les enfants, cela nous aidera aussi à bricoler en nous donnant le temps pour le faire.
