Description of the home we are offering for exchange
WE ARE LOOKING FOR AN EMERGENCY SWAP IN LONDON AREA (OR OTHER CITIES IN ENGLAND), DUE TO LAST MINUTE CANCELLATION BY OUR EXCHANGERS IN LONDON. WE HAVE TRAIN TICKETS FROM 2019 AUG. 15 TO AUG 28. A NON-SIMULTANEOUS SWAP IS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU !
Experienced exchangers (6 exchanges). Brand new restored house (170 m2) with a pool (3,5m x 3,5 m) and garden in a very quiet dead end street, ten minutes cycling from the center town (we provide bikes !) or by bus (bus stop 200 m). Valence is a perfect location to visit south est of France : few miles from Provence, surrounded by the Vercors Mountain, and just close to the famous cycling way along the Rhône river, called La Via Rhôna, that goes from Switzerland to the Mediterranean Sea. Within ± 1h15 you can be in Lyon (Unesco site), Avignon and Nîmes by car or train.
We have two girls, 19 and 17. We also have twos cats, they just need to be feed.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
We are ten minutes cycling from the heart of town, and our bikes are free to dispose. Valence is a nice town, with two theatres, two art cinemas and one multiplex, plenty of restaurants and bars, with a lot of places to spend a good evening. The public swimming pool is huge, with a large schedule of opening. The museum has reopened recently, with a very modern museography, and there is a large pedestrial area in the center, with a very lively market on saturdays. Valence is the right place to visit Provence and Lubéron, for the city is between Lyon and Nîmes, with Avignon not far. The Gorges de l'Ardèche are a famous place to practice canyoning and canoeing. The adorned cave La Grotte Chauvet Pont-d'Arc is registered on the Unesco patrimonial list, and it's one of the most fantastic thing you can imagine… There are also ski stations, ancient castles, music festivals and so much more to have a good time around our house !
