  Description

  We are a French couple, Pascale and Emmanuel. We are 57 and 50 years old. Emmanuel speaks English, but Pascale does not so you will speak French ! We live in a house near Bordeaux in the country side. The house is old, more than 100 years old and typical house of the region. There's a garden, with chickens and a cat, and a vegetable patch.

  Hébergement

  You will have your own room with one bed, one fridge and a microwave, a coffee maker, a desk to work. This room was used previously for rental. But we prefer now to have real exchange rather than travelers only.
  The bathroom is large but collective.
  
  We shall eat altogether for all meals. The food is prepared by us or together to discover new recipes. Our food is typical french, simple, with vegetables and some but not too much meat or fish.
