Hello ! We are an active couple of (semi) retired people and we are newly discovering the joy of traveling during mid or low season !
This house is not our main house so we'll be able to let it to you during Summer anyway if we can use yours in winter or spring.
We are flexible about how long we or you can stay, depends on the destination.

Read More...Sylvie and Gerard's home is extremely comfortable, set in crisp whites, you feel at home instantly. They went out of their way to have their dear friends pick my friend and I at the airport and drive us to their home. They showed us around the home and how to operate the car. These friends were so kind - they even invited us into their home and took us sightseeing locally! Another friend of the family generously took us into an old town Bordeaux market. She was so much fun to be with, we laughed a lot! We enjoyed eating our meals outside at the table adjacent to the pool, listening to the birds shattering in the trees and golfers walking by. The pool was refreshing when the temperatures soared. Their neighbourhood is very pretty and the house is within walking distance to the golf course club house and exceptional restaurant. We biked around the neighbourhood and into wine country nearby. We felt quickly in love with Filou, their cat, an extremely friendly and caressable creature. The housekeeper is very friendly and helpful too. I learned some of my best key French phases from her! The local markets and bakery are second to none. Of course there are ample wineries to visit while there. We liked St Emilion so much I went back again. A beautiful commune in the Gironde Department. The champagne there is exquisite as are the surrounding architecture. The red wine is overpriced but this is what it is known for to collectors. There are so many amazing areas to visit closeby. I went to Arcachon, Cap Ferret, Biarritz, Beyonne and even into San Sebastian and Bilbao Spain. I highly recommend visiting Bordeaux and living like like a local. The people were very friendly everywhere we went. If only we had more time we could have enjoyed local hiking spots. All in all, this is a 5 star exchange, I definitely would love to return to.

Koduvahetuseks pakutava kodu kirjeldus
Our home is located in a typical small old village (the chapel dates back from the twelfth century) close to Brive-la-Gaillarde in Corrèze, Nouvelle-Aquitaine. It has its own unique character with its stone walls and slate roof.
We don’t live there but the house is equipped to live in, and as we are really into cooking, you’ll find everything you need in the kitchen.
You will also find sunlit rooms, and choose either one of the large bedrooms with its own shower room upstairs in the ancient attic or a smaller one but on the ground floor with a shower and a bathtub.
If you want to experience the French countryside and its authenticity, this place is made for you !

Ümbruskonna kirjeldus
You will stay in a typical old village in the center of France, in the middle of the countryside. A few years ago, the village was still occupied by many (old) farmers whose specialty was the breeding of milk calves. Nowadays, most of them have stopped their activities but the landscape is still marked by that time and you can enjoy the view on beautiful and typical old farms and large fields.
One of our neighbors is still active and you will surely have the privilege to see cows right under your windows.
Although the village is old, its population is dynamic and the people around are very friendly and helpful. You will probably have the chance to witness (or be taken in) one of the wild games of petanque that are regularly played near the house between neighbors.
However, don't worry, you will be close to the city and all its facilities (15 minutes by car), where in addition to finding all the usual French stores, you will be able to discover the "marché de Brive" a big farmers' market which takes place on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday of each week where you can taste all the culinary specialties of central France.
