Bonjour, cette été 2021 nous allons rester en France, comme beaucoup ! Nous recherchons du côté de la façade atlantique pour visiter de la famille et ensuite se poser une ou deux semaines dans la région. N'hésitez pas à nous contacter :-)
We are Solange and Emmanuel, in our 50's. We have a daughter, 25 years old who does not live with us any longer but is still often traveling with us and her boyfriend. We like to discover new places in France and abroad. We like to set up 1 or 2 weeks swaps but also taking advantage of some long week-ends to visit new places not so far from our house. We are very attentive to our host confort and will do our best for an unmatchable experience in Paris! We take good care of our house, we will with yours and are expecting the same focus :-). We are non smokers and when we are with our daughter we cannot go where animals live as she has severe allergies, sorry!
We have done several fruitful exchanges on another site (Troc Maison, before it became Home Exchange). You can access the review on this link: "https://homeexchange/homes/view/1446218"
Feel free to contact us, we respond to all requests in a timely manner.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our region is mainly know because of the proximity of Paris. That is right but there are so many nice places to visit around! We will be happy to send you our roadtrip book so you can see all you can do. The cities are not so pleasant right now... so maybe this is the time to look for nature? and yes, here you will find it!
Our house is large, modern and fully equipped. You will like huge windows, the large garden and terasse from where you will enjoy the squirrels and birds ballet... You will also apreciate our home cinema room and the balneo bath in the winter!

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
The house is at the end of a one way street so you cannot hear anything, just birds. We have neighbours on 2 sides but they are nice and quiet.
We live in a residential area with many things to see: the center of Montlhery has kept its medieval character with paved streets, old church, medieval tower, only 3 min drive from home. All the shops you need are in town: the typical French "boulangerie" of course with great pastries, cheese shop (great!), butchers, wine shop, books and newspaper, cigarettes, post office, esthetic shops, souvenirs, pharmacy, etc. a swimming pool (small one in town and large interior + exterior at a 10 min drive distance). The market is in town on Saturday morning and Wednesday morning. We also have malls and supermarkets close to the house (Intermarché, Carrefour), and many restaurants around, all kinds! from gastronomic to French Britany region (crêpes !), pizza, fish, Moroccan, etc. You won't have time to try them all!

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
If you like to walk in a nice environment, or run or take the bicycle, you ought to go the Longpont Basilic where you can park easily (5 min drive). This church was built in the XVth century and has the oldest reliquary in Europe! It is very active and there are concerts, mass on Sundays, etc. and around the environment is great in calm: horses, lakes, 12kms walk path and even 42 kms if you take the bike and go further in the area (most are only pedestrian paths). That is where we run every week... and in the summer time, you can stop to taste a French "crêpes", sit down and look at the fisherman, listen to music or watch people bringing their picnics. Very lively area.
You have access to many great places from our house :
- Disneyland Paris within 45-50 minutes (in the East side, outside of Paris)
- Château de Versailles within 45-50 minutes (in the West side, outside of Paris)
- Forêt de Rambouillet with great places to walk and castles
- Paris of course !!!
We have written a "roadtrip" book that we will be happy to share with you, many suggestions from 30 to 3 h from home... so many things to see!

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We are non smokers and our daughter having serious allergies we unfortunately cannot allow smokers to stay in our house, sorry for that. Nor animals... except the ones in our garden! We pay a lot of attention to our house and expect our guests to give it back to us as clean and tidy as they found it. Our cleaning lady might be able to give you a hand depending on the period. Children are welcome but be aware that we have stairs, even in the main rooms (modern design) and also in some part of the gardens, so it might be inappropriate for toddlers.
We can consider lending our car.
