  Description

  French family of 4, our kids are teenagers. We have 2 lovely dogs. We already had a great experience with an aupair before and we would love to share our culture, habits, food with others and learn about yours! :-) We live in Savoie, close to the beautiful mountains and a lot of activities in the summer and the winter. If you like to fish, hike, go to the lakes, visit castles and spend time close to waterfall it's a place for you! Ski resorts are also close and we like to ski during the winter. We have motorbikes and 4x4 and often go trips around.
  We would like to share our home and french way of life with people all around the world. You could help us on small projects at home, everyday life, walking dogs....

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I LOVE cultural exchange and baking/cooking. We all like to do activities and a lot are aviable around our house : water activities in the summer, snow in the winter. Our kids are friendly, they speak english. My husband only speaks french but we had very good experience with foreigners before and I'd like to have some more!

We both work full time but I work from home 2 days per weeks. I'd like to spend some time together during the evenings and week-ends and share a lot :-)

  This host offers a language exchange
  I'm really interested in languages, I learned German in Germany and English only in France. I'd like to have cultural exchanges in other languages to improve them :-) I'd like to share it with my kids who are teenagers. Languages are made to be able to communicate with others nothing is better than using it in the real life.

  Accommodation

  We renovated an old barn all by ourselves. We still have a lot to do on the outside but it starts to look good inside. It's a 3-story house with the garage on the ground floor, the living room/dining room/kitchen and the parents room on the first floor, 3 bedrooms and a chill/play room on the second floor.
  We have a small but beautiful and comfortable bedroom for friends and for now a shared bathroom. We would like to have a second bathroom in the future. Our house is big and well equiped. A part of the barn is still in project. I'll be very happy to talk more about our house if you contact us.
  We live in a small village but are close from a lot of amenities

  What else ...

  Having a driving licence (and a car at best) would be better. You can also use trains, bus (like flixbus if you come from far away if we can we will be happy to come and pick you up in Chambery) and bike.
  There are so many activities to do around! We can talk about it if you contact us.
