We have done several changes to date and they have gone all very well however this home has been the best we have svisited. We have liked very much the home and the views. David & Claire have been very kind, they have left us a lot of food and even an additional room in order to be in the position of choosing where to sleep. As I said in the tittle: Simply excellent!

This home exchange was not what we expected…it was so much better! Claire & David were exceptional home exchange partners. It was such a pleasure to meet them at their home & to be given clear instructions on the house & local area. They were very kind & generous to leave us a range of tasty local products & a jar of Claire’s homemade orange marmalade that is award worthy in our opinion. Their home is at the end of a lane that offers a peaceful & private setting with stunning views of the valley & a perfect base to just relax around the pool, go for walks in the countryside or venture out to local historical villages & wineries. Even with our very limited French we found the people in the area very friendly & helpful. A very memorable & relaxing holiday!

A fantastic exchange for us.This magnificent house and gardens is set just up hill from a village with excellent eating options.We enjoyed leisurely mornings visiting local medieval towns and villages , to return for a swim in the beautiful pool.Our children really loved it. The nearby city of Roanne offers all you need and has a lovely port area.It's train station has links to all major cities , including Lyon , which we visited and enjoyed. Our hosts made everything easy for us by providing superb instructions for the house re: appliances but also by giving us great ideas for days out, restaurants and local markets etc. This was truly a memorable exchange - one that we will always remember!! Merci Beaucoup.
