Yves, Bernadette : We did 15 successful exchanges between 2000 and 2020 (12 international and 3 in the south of France), a number of them with our three children, who are now adults. One of my daughters and a friend might accompany us in the future. We are interested in destinations like the East Coast of the USA, particularly Massachusetts and New York City. At present we have 2 cats but they mostly live outside in the daytime and always sleep outside during the night; we are happy to provide cat care, as we have done on many previous exchanges (and even chicken care :)

Read More...We really enjoyed our stay in Yves' and Bernadette's house in Quimper. We felt very welcome and the house was spatious and lovely in every way. We also got to know the domestic cats and enjoyed their company. Every morning we went to the local bakery down the road for fresh bread and we tried many of the recommended places. Finistère is really a beautiful area where you can find lots of things to see and visit. Thank you!

Read More...Yves and Bernadette have a beautiful house, well restored with perfect combination of history, comfort and design. We loved it! Quimper and the surrounding small villages with beautiful beaches is something we warmly recommend to anyone. We spend most of our time at the house, in Quipmer and Audiern, with its fantastic beaches. Nice places to visit are also Duarnenez, Concarneau and Penmarch. In the evening we prepared dinner with the plancha. This was our second home exchange and we enjoyed every moment! Best Regards! Karin & Tom

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Roomy House, quiet & green district, near historical center town - Planted with tree garden. The neighborhood is very safe, next to a charming park and wood. The park has a play structure, tennis courts and open field.
Within 40 minutes of our home, you can get to wild and windy Pointe du Raz, France's equivalent of Land's End or visit the exquisite village of Locronan which occupies a long-sacred spot named after a revered Irishman who settled here in the Dark Ages.
Brittany's beaches are places where you can just relax, or enjoy sports and activities. Within 20 minutes of the house, you'll find little coves and long stretches of fine sand.
We are just 3 hours to the phenomenal World Heritage Site Baie du Mont St-Michel. See http://www.brittanytourism.com for more information.
Quimper est une ville de caractère avec de nombreuses animations pendant l'été (festival de Cornouaille, ...) et des activités très variées pour les enfants (piscine, parc d'attractions
