  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Exchange in lifestyle, cooking, language and culture, during free time working together in art projects. The area really is very quiet and rural, if you like the countryside and nature you will be well here. If you are looking for evening events, going out into clubs or discos, you won't be well here.

  Autres infos...

  As already mentioned: we are in a remote area, public transport is available in the next village, about 3 km away, and this not very frequently. You should be happy with your time off, spending it in the nature all around or for your personal projects, where you do not need to meet many other people.
