    Description

    We are a family of four: Raphaël, a climbing instructor; Roxane, who works in finance; and our children, Tom (10 years old) and Juliette (9 years old), who go to school 2 km away. We live in a beautiful house with breathtaking mountain views and a large swimming pool open in the summer, and we are passionate about nature. As an instructor, I love taking people to the mountains. We are looking for people to help us in the garden, especially the vegetable patch, with the chickens and rabbits. We hope for a warm, friendly exchange, open to cultural sharing.

Nous vivons dans une maison splendide avec une vue imprenable sur les montagnes, une grande piscine ouverte l’été, et nous sommes passionnés de nature. En tant que moniteur, j’adore emmener les gens en montagne. Nous cherchons, des personnes pour nous aider dans le jardin et surtout le potager, avec les poules et les lapins. Nous souhaitons un échange chaleureux, convivial, et ouvert sur le partage culturel.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I'm a keen DIY enthusiast, and my wife has been working in the garden for 10 years. We have a wealth of knowledge we'd be happy to share. As an added bonus, as a climbing instructor, I could introduce you to, or share in, this activity that I'm so passionate about. I also practice yoga and meditation daily.

You can enjoy hiking, cycling, downhill skiing, and cross-country skiing in the winter (15 minutes by car) or visit Chambéry, Annecy, and Aix-les-Bains, just a few kilometers away. Public transportation is limited, so a car is a plus, but we can sometimes arrange rides.
