Nous aimons beaucoup voyager et découvrir l'histoire, l'architecture, la bonne bouffe, les bons vins mais surtout les amitiés que nos échanges nous procurent. Nous aimons la marche, le golf, le vélo, la mer, la nature...et le jazz.
Après 29 échanges à travers le monde, nous souhaitons concentrer nos échanges au Québec, en Ontario, dans les Maritimes ou n'importe oû au Canada.
We both love to travel to discover history, architecture, good food and great wines but specially we appreciate the enduring friendships we have established thanks to our exchanges. We both enjoy golf, trecking, cycling, swimming, nature...and jazz.
After 29 exchanges throughout the world, we wish to continue our travels closer to home...so we are open to exchanges in Québec, Ontario, the Maritimes and really anywhere in Canada.

Read More...We have just returned from this lovely area of Canada of lush woodland, rivers and lakes. Helene and Wilfrid’s lovely comfortable home is indeed in a beautiful location bordered by woodland by the river. There is an abundance of wildlife to be seen in the pretty garden, blue jays, chickadees, black squirrel, chipmunks, deer, to name a few. Ottawa is in easy reach but other cities would be quite a long drive. We drove to Algonquin Park (3 hours), Omega Parc (1 hour away - fabulous!) and Mont Tremblant (lovely) in the Laurentians. (2 hours). The local villages of Wakefield and Chelsea are very pretty and the Gatineau Park is beautiful. This is a lovely holiday for those who like peaceful surroundings, walking, nature and wildlife.

HOMELINKING SINCE 1994 (27 exchanges)
Located just 20 minutes from Ottawa/Gatineau, our house is very comfortable and well decorated; we have very nice and helpful neighbors. We also have a piano and a well-equipped exercise room in the basement. Just 2.5 hours from Montreal and 4 hours from Quebec city.
Our property is on a 1 acre lot with beautiful gardens overlooking the Gatineau River where we have a dock and a canoe for your use. Ideally located and appreciated by our past exchangers for the many cycling trails in Gatineau and Ottawa and for the beautiful walking trails in the nearby Gatineau Park. The villages of Old Chelsea and Wakefield are also favorites of ours for their bistros, market, art and music.
Notre maison est située sur la Rivière Gatineau sur un grand terrain paysagé avec des jardins de fleurs. A proximité d'Ottawa et de Gatineau, 2.5 heures de Montréal et 4h. de la ville de Québec. Notre région est idéale pour ses pistes cyclables tant du côté d'Ottawa que de Gatineau et pour les nombreux sentiers de marche dans le Parc de la Gatineau, situé à proximité de la maison. De plus les villages de Chelsea et de Wakefield sont charmants et appréciés de tous nos échangeurs pour les bistros, galleries d'art et musique. Nous avons un quai et un canot en bordure de la Rivière Gatineau et dans la maison un piano et une salle d'exercice au sous-sol.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Chelsea, Québec est un endroit idéal (le meilleur de deux mondes) tout près des pistes cyclables d'Ottawa et de Gatineau et des sentiers récréatifs du Parc de la Gatineau. Nos voisins sont très sympathiques et disposés à fournir des renseignements si nécessaire. La proximité des villages de Old Chelsea et de Wakefield plait à tous nos échangeurs pour les bistros, galleries d'art, musique. Les villes d'Ottawa (Capitale du Canada) et de Gatineau offrent musées, marché public, art et musique et toute une panoplie d'évènements annuels.
Chelsea, Québec is ideally situated with its walking and cycling trails, and just 20 minutes from Ottawa Canada's Capital with its museums, art galleries, an open air market and interesting architecture. (Parliament bldgs, Universities, Churches).
Early Fall in Quebec is beautiful with the changing colors of the leaves. We are close to the Gatineau Park, one of Canada's best rated National Park.
We are also about 15 minutes away by car from Old Chelsea and Wakefield, two quaint old villages filled with artisan shops and small restaurants; past exchangers have declared these one of their favorite stops. We are also close to many golf courses.
