  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Tulle is a lovely French town with lots of opportunities to get involved - especially in the summer. There are local concerts, fantastic food markets, BBQ nights, lake swimming, craft activities and vide greniers (huge flea markets) in many villages and towns nearby. We even have horse racing at Pompadour which is nearby. We have a car and love to travel so we're happy to take you out every day sightseeing (after a morning's work in house). We also have French recipe books and you're welcome to try out some local cooking in the kitchen whenever you want, and of course, we're learning French ourselves and are happy to practice French conversation with you. We also have a piano for anyone who enjoys playing.
