    Description

    Hello, we are a family with 3 children: Anaïs 21 years, Youri 19 years and Maia 16 years. They are no longer at home on a daily basis now and the house is big enought to receive travelers ! We live in Savoie at the top of Aix-les-Bains in a large farm house we have renovated retaining its traditional character.
    We use to spend one year in a cycling trip where we regularly stayed with different hosts and we are now receiving travelers to share and discover life in our beautiful mountain region .... and continue the trip!

    Bonjour, nous sommes Sonia et Cyril, nos 3 enfants (Anaïs 23 ans, Youri 21 ans et Maïa 19 ans), ne sont plus ici au quotidien maintenant et la maison est grande pour recevoir des voyageurs ! Nous habitons en Savoie au dessus d'Aix-les-Bains dans une grande ferme des Bauges que nous avons rénovée en conservant son caractère traditionnel.
    Il y a quelques années nous avons passé un an de voyage à vélo où nous avons régulièrement fait du woofing, aujourd'hui nous recevons des voyageurs pour leur faire partager et découvrir la vie dans notre belle région de moyenne montagne ....et poursuivre ainsi le voyage!

    We live in the countryside but we benefit from a shuttle bus service on demand: just order a ride and a bus pick you up in front of the door, for 1.5€! It connects you to Aix-les-Bains, the train station, the shops ...it's very convenient!
