Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Your family will be well settled in our family home on the edge of the Bouconne forest, in the pretty village of Brax, a few kilometres from the beautiful city of Toulouse in southwestern France. Our home is full of life and colours, kids drawing and books! You will be able to relax in the garden, enjoy the swing and the fruit trees for shade. You will also be in the heart of the Occitanie region to visit the villages of the Gers and Haute-Garonne, close to the Pyrenees. There is so much to do in Toulouse: cycling on the banks of the Canal du Midi, walking on the banks of the Garonne, enjoying gastronomy, visiting the Cité de l'Espace (city of space), the many museums in the city centre, wandering from gardens to terraces of coffee, running or trailing in the forest and in the Pyrenees. It is a region adapted for relaxing but also sporty holidays, with family, lovers and friends,...
The house is modern (was built 10 years ago), with a fully equiped kitchen, 4 bedrooms for parents and kids, 2 bathrooms. The village centre is nearby and daily shopping can easily be done by bike.
Our bicycles and vehicle are at your disposal for the duration of your stay. It is also possible to take the train (5 minutes walk from the house) to get to the city centre of Toulouse in about 20 minutes.
