  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are a mixed cultural family - with an American mother, an Italian father and living in France for several years - so we can help you improve any of these three languages. We are open to you sharing your language with us, especially with the children.
  We are an active family who likes outdoor activities, like sailing on the lake, hiking, biking, skiing in the winter. We can take you sailing in the nicer weather and teach you how to cook Italian or American recipes if you are interested.
