We are Floriane (42), working full time in the field of higher education, Lionel (44), graphic designer, Colin (11) and Marius (5). We speak French at home, but we live in a very bilingual french-german part of Switzerland. The children go to the german speaking school. We love music, nature and mountains. In winter we love skiing and in summer we go hiking. Floriane and Lionel used to live 2 years in New York. Now we enjoy our nice home in a very quiet neighbourhood.

Read More...We had a great holiday in Anzère. The preparation for the exchange and communication with Floriane and Lionel went really well. Staying in a ski resort in summer is actually really nice. It’s not as busy as in Winter, chilled out and mostly frequented by people who come to hike or have a quiet time in the mountains. Floriane and Lionel’s apartment is very well located: near the shops and a great base for hikes in the mountains. And most of all, with a superb view on the Alps. We spent entire evenings only watching the mountains which was very calming. It was great to have the swimming pool in the Spa so nearby (also on walking distance!) and Anzère is very child-friendly with lots of activities for kids. The apartment is very cosy and fits its surroundings perfectly. It’s in a beautiful wooden building and Floriane and Lionel did a great job decorating it. It even has a garden!

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighbourhood is very quite, with a lots of trees and vegetations. There is a little farm just 100m away from the house, with sheep and fields. It's very close to the city center of Fribourg: only 7mn by e-bike, or 8mn walk to the bus station that drives directly to the center (10mn bus drive). This is the perfect location between countryside and city. There is a nice playground for the kids only 10mn walk away.
Grocerystore is about 5mn away by e-bike or 2mn by car. There is also a bus station that leeds directly to the Mountains of Schwarzsee. In only 30mn walk you can hike down to the Gotteron Canyon and bath in the river.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
It is important to us to find our house clean and tidy when we get back. We would be greatful for you to water the plants if the weather is very hot. Please always close the veranda at night or when you leave the house, in order to avoid cats and foxes coming into it. Toys of the kids can be used and placed back to the shelves afterwards.
