Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Residential neighborhood, 3,5 km from Blois city center.
However the next house is distant of 300m and the most frequent visitors will be birds, deers and rabbits...
There is railway line between the garden and the Loire, but not really visible and most time not very noisy.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
An House keeper is living in another house in the park, 350m away. He is kind, efficient and a very helpful and has 2 very well trained dogs, however he speaks only french.
Not only the park is 4 ha, but there is along 2 sides unattended woods with deers and other wild animals.
There are no fences all around the park, so kids must be watched because of possible vipers.
