We are a newly retired couple. We would like to visit our daughter who works in Melbourne and are looking at swapping our large country house in the neighbourhood of LYON (south east of France) for a 3 month period. Lyon is the capital of french gastronomy and close to the wineyards of Burgundy , Beaujolais and Rhône valley . The city center is on the heritage list of UNESCO , and a thriving cultural centre . The alpine ski resorts are very close by , Paris is easily reached by TGV train ( 2.5 hours) , and so is the mediterranean coast. We hope you could be interested in swapping home with us . Regards. François and Catheryne
