  Description

  Hello! We are a family of 3 (Bérénice, William, Ada 4) living near Clermont-Ferrand in the middle of France (Auvergne/Massif Central). We had the privilege to travel to many places and we settled in Freiburg, Germany for 6 years before moving back to France. We now have a house with a garden, and we’d be very happy to host travelers, share our culture, and practice languages, especially German (which our daughter used to speak).

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  The workawayer will be part of the family. We are ready to help you improve your French through discussions if you wish. We will be happy to introduce you to French food and take you to visit the surrounding area. There are lots of things to do in this beautiful area (hiking, skiing, cycling, shopping, visiting, etc). During the weekend, you could come with our family for a walk, meet friends, and do other activities with us. We will also appreciate learning about the culture of our workawayer (traditions, cooking, way of life).
