  Description

  I've just moved to a nice 4-room apartment located 200m from the sea, still in Cagnes sur mer but in a different area, in the Cros de Cagnes. It is new (it has never been lived in) and needs to be fully fitted out with a kitchen and cupboards.
  It has a big balcony (16m2) on the 2nd floor, accessible by elevator.
  
  We can see the sea from the balcony.
  
  It is located near all shops and public transport. I have bikes I can lend for daily trips.
  
  I cannot host someone at the moment (the guest room is full of boxes) but as soon as I will be able to (around end of March) I will need help to continue to fit out the apartment and with day-to-day tasks.

  I've got 2 kids: my daughter Émilie is 21yo and after a degree in law has decided to take a gap year before getting back to the university to learn psychology and my son Julien just turned 18yo, I have alternating custody of him every other week.
  Émilie is bilingual French/English as she spent more than 1 year in the UK and 1.5 months in Australia totally immersed in families, also she obtained an International Baccalaureate (OIB) in 2021 and a degree in law in Spring 2024.
  Julien has Asperger's syndrome, level 1, i.e., mild, but he is very comfortable with the people he knows. He's just entered the History College in Sept. 2024. He wants to become a historian and for his studies, a good level of English is essential (the best historians of French History are American ! And obviously all the publications are in English). Writing is OK but speaking foreign languages is still difficult for him today.
  
  My mother was Spanish, and traveling is part of my DNA. We all love travelling and meeting new people.
  
  Family and friendship are an important parts of my life. I'm doing my best to maintain good relationships with my relatives and also like to meet new people. Exchanging, sharing, discovering, learning, and understanding are essential for me. I find my balance between work (as R&D engineer), family and friends, sports, and music. Initially more of a musician than a sportswoman (I play the piano and the oboe), sports have become more important in my life in the last few years: I love to swim, I run regularly and above all I travel almost exclusively by bike. I am very sensitive to ecology at all levels and do my best to protect the planet and my loved ones.
  
  I like to cook but have little time for it so plan to cook for yourself or with me, otherwise I would gladly invite you to my table if you are willing to have simple meals composed mainly of fresh and organic products.
  
  I don't smoke and smoking is not allowed in the apartment nor the balcony.

  Aide

  I am looking for someone or a couple to help me set up this new apartment. I am not very handy (but willing to learn) so I need people with some experience: I would be glad to learn from you.
  I love to exchange on various subjects, I'm also found of languages. If your level of English and/or Spanish is good, maybe you can help my son improve his English and/or Spanish; also, as I live near Italy, I would love to learn Italian.

  Cet hôte propose un échange linguistique
  I have been attracted to languages since my childhood and enjoy helping foreigners to improve their French. I have hosted my daughter two English exchange partners for 6 months each, and I have also hosted a Mexican au pair for 10 months as well as Emilie's Australian correspondent for 6 weeks. I helped all of them improve their French.
