We are Antoine, a retired Executive Chef and Wine Enthusiast, and Claire, a self-employed Psychotherapist. We are passionate about travelling and discovering other cultures. Claire loves animals, especially her beloved dog Daisy, who, unless you care to walk her everyday, would go to our son's during your stay here. Antoine now consults in the restaurant business and lectures on wine. We enjoyed four previous exchanges when our three sons were younger ( about twelve years ago). Now we would like to exchange again , just the two of us, and especially visit our eldest in Pimlico, London.
