  • Description

    Description

    We're a french family which was living for 10 years in Berlin. We have one girl 4 years old and one baby 6 months old. We're spending one year in France to enjoy mountains and nature during the maternity leave. We would like that our children keep contacts with German speaking people so they don't forget the language. At home we can speak either French or German, depending on what the workawayer likes.

    Savoie is a beautiful region with a lot of nature and outdoor activities all around. We just arrived but we already love it!
