Description
We are a family of six people, but only three living permanently in the house at the moment : Armelle, Mariano, and Marissa who is 12 years old. Our house is quite big and lovely situated in a small pretty town near the coast of Brittany. Wild scenaries, great sea, nice beaches, friendly people, good food : good vibes only ! We are very keen on music, we have guitars, a piano, accordeons, cello, trumpet, that you can use if you like ! Mariano is Peruvian, so we speak both french and spanish at home, but we can speak english too.
If you come home, we though that you could spend some time with Marissa, go and get her from school, do the homework, play with her if you like. We would expect you to take part of the domestic life and maybe some handiwork outside (gardening ?), but we are very flexible and open to any kind of initiatives !
We have a spare room that you can have on your own, with private bathroom. We would be delighted to take you for sightseeing, for visiting the area.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
With us you can improve your French (and your Spanish too) Brittany is a very lively cultural place, with its traditions (dancing, crepes and galettes, celtic music, etc). The landscape is breathtaking, very well-known for its pink granit. We can take you out of the beaten tracks and to the famous touristic spots as well !
And if you want to do a big band with Mariano, a vegetable garden with me or play with the rabbits with Marissa, you're welcome !!

Help
Marissa is secondary school and it would be nice for her to have someone to stay with her after school. And also practical for us since we come back from work around 6 pm. She's a bit shy at the beginning, but she's always happy to play and chat with people. She's quite independant, and can play on her own as well.

Accommodation
A room with private bathroom and toilets. Our rooms are at the first floor, yours will be at the top !
What else ...
Our town, Lannion, is a very nice place with its historical center, its little shops, etc. We are 10 minutes by car from the sea. There are some buses that can bring you to it but not so many (it's a small town!!).
If you want to go out at night, there are some bars in the town center. Even if the city is small, the student life is quite nice.
If you want you can take a bike at home and go cycling along the river or in the forest all the way to the beach.
