  Description

  I live in a beautiful region of the Jura, in eastern France. I am looking for a native French speaker to spend a week with me (I am a woman in my late sixties). The program includes conversation, reading, walks, gardening, swimming, all while practicing French with me. I am English and a certified TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) teacher, so I can help you improve your English. Many of my neighbours speak English. The village is very welcoming and there are many walks, cycling routes, and cultural events that we can take part in. I offer full board, access to the swimming pool, and excursions in the region, etc.
  
  J'habite dans une magnifique région du Jura, dans l'est de la France. Je recherche une personne de langue maternelle française pour passer une semaine avec moi (femme, fin de la soixantaine). Au programme : conversation, lecture, promenades, jardinage, baignade, tout en pratiquant le français avec moi. Je suis anglaise et professeure d'anglais langue étrangère (TEFL) certifiée. Je peux donc vous aider à améliorer votre anglais. Beaucoup de mes voisins parlent anglais. Le village est très accueillant et il y a de nombreuses promenades, balades à vélo et événements culturels auxquels nous pourrons participer.
  Je propose la pension complète, l'accès à la piscine et des excursions dans la région etc
