Description
We're living in an old house with a big land in a charming French village in the South of Ardèche and are looking for a cultural exchange with travellers from all over the world. We have 2 lovely daughters of 8 and 10 who love to learn languages and get to know new people and cultures, that's our way of travelling without moving ;) We also have 2 cats, 2 chicken and a bunch of rabbits ;) Good atmosphere, organic/vegetarian food, we practice (acro) yoga, hiking, climbing, dancing, making music and sharing our travel stories and philosophies :)
