Description
We love learning languages and meeting with new friends. If you are a native English, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese speaking or if you are fluent in one of those 4 languages, we would be happy to welcome you in our family in exchange of conversations. We would also like our 6yo daughter to be taught one of those languages. We live in a natural park, far from cities, but ideal for those who love wild nature as we do. Our area is ideal to practise hiking, climbing, skiing, riding… we also run a photo and video shoot studio.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
By sharing our daily life with the workawayer, he/she will also be able to discover our culture and way of life. We’ll show him/her as much as we can about our preserved natural environment and cultural patrimony like castles and medieval villages. He/she will also be able to do an intervention in our daughter’s school, in order to discover how works a french school in our remote area

Help
We would like to share meals and some of our daily activities with the workawayer in order to practise his/her language and know more about his/her culture. We would also like him/her to spend some time with our 6 yo daughter in order to teach her English or some of his/her native language
Languages
Languages spoken

Portuguese: IntermediateThis host offers a language exchange
Language sharing is our main motivation to welcome a workaway. Our native language is French and we can teach it. Pierre is fluent in English and can also teach it. We’d like our 6yo daughter to learn English first but also to discover other languages. We are intermediate in Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. We’d like to practise and improve those three languages
Accommodation
The workawayer will have his/her own private bedroom situated just near a bathroom. He will be able to share all the meals with us and will also be able to use our family kitchen if he/her wants to cook by him/herself. He/she will be able to use our washing machine. We have a screening room where we watch movies on a big screen. He/she will also be able to use this room, with or without us. We also have a hot tub and a sauna that will also be at his/her disposal… I might forget a lot. The idea is that the workawayer well receive must enjoy all the commodities of our home as if it was his or her’s
What else ...
Our place is remote and far from the city life. There’s so much to do around for who wants to enjoy wild nature and mountains, like hiking, skiing, VTT, riding horses, sailing, canoeing or just contemplating the beauty of the landscape.

Space for parking camper vans
We often travel with a van ourselves and we love this way of life. We have plenty of space to park a campervan or a motor home around the house. We can provide electricity and access to the bathroom and shower. And share the meals and some of our daily life with the same exchange logic as travellers we receive in our house : based on cultural and linguistic exchanges
