I used to have home exchanges with my parents when I was little all over Europe. This is such a lovely way to discover a country. Now that my wife and I have become parents ourselves, we would love to swap houses again with our 2 boys. We love living in Antwerp but there are so many more places to discover!
Als kind heb ik met mijn ouders heel veel huisruilvakanties meegemaakt in heel Europa. Het is zo'n leuke manier om een nieuw land te ontdekken. Nu mijn vrouw en ik zelf ouders zijn geworden, willen we graag hetzelfde doen met ons zoontje. Wij wonen graag in Antwerpen maar er zijn zo veel leuke plekken om te ontdekken!
Comme enfant j'ai fait plein d'échanges de maison avec mes parents. C'est une manière très couette pour découvrir les pays. Maintenant ma femme et moi sommes des parents nous-même et nous voudrions faire la même chose avec notre petit fils. On aime bien vivre en Anvers mais il nous reste tant d'endroits à découvrir!

Description de notre maison d'échange
We live in a big comfortable 3 bedroom home (address upon request). The house is child friendly since we have a little rascal of our own. And he has a lot of toys! We have a lovely garden and a very sunny balcony. In summer you can turn on the AC to keep your head cool.
Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms: a master bedroom, a guest bedroom with 2 separate beds (that can be put together if needed) and a decorated cosy children's bedroom. There's also a separate toilet and a big modern bathroom. Our living area is situated on the first floor. We have a big well equiped modern kitchen with adjacent eating area and access to balcony. On this floor you can also find our warm and cosy sitting area. This is also where all the toys are. Downstairs we have an extra bathroom (including washing machine and dryer), a home office area and a playing area, with acces to the garden. We also have a garage for storage and a parking space. The best way to discover Antwerp is by bike so we have some bikes available too!

Description de notre quartier et ses alentours
Our neighbourhood is quiet but very close to supermarkets, a park, restaurants, train station and tram. Berchem Station is only 10 minutes on foot. You are in the trendy part of Zurenborg only 5 minutes by bike. Here you can find a mix of restaurants and bars. It is also child friendly with a big playing area. You can take the train to go straight to Antwerp Central Station. It's only a couple of minutes and you arrive in one of the most beautiful Grand Central Halls in the world. From thereon you can discover the city centre on foot, by bike or with public transport.
We are also very close to every big city in Belgium: Gent, Brussels, Bruges, Liege is only 1 hour or 1,5 hour away. Even Paris or Amsterdam are not that far when you take the TGV train. You are also very close to the countryside. Only half an hour away by car is Kalmthoutse Heide which is a huge natural reserve in Northern Belgium. Also other regions like Hageland (with all the fruit blossoms) and Pajottenland are only an hour away. It is very beautiful to hike and bike there. And if you are up for a challenge, you can tike your race bike and try a bit of the Ronde van Vlaanderen in the Flemish Ardennes. In the French speaking part of Belgium it is worhtwhile to visit the Ardennes if you want to hike or bike or even to mountainbike or cano. Antwerp really is ideally situated to discover the whole of Belgium!

Nos conseils pour des restaurants, cafés, shopping et activitiés à ne pas manquer
We live in the quiet area of Berchem just outside Antwerp. However we have some fun bars and some nice restaurants closeby. We also live near a park for a little morning jog nearby or to let your children play. In summer there are fountains packed with children playing in them.
Antwerp is a lovely city. On one hand you can visit a wide array of museums on classical artists such as Rubens or Van Dyck. You also have a lot of historical well kept buildings such as Het Steen, City Hall or the Cathedral. On the other hand Antwerp is a trendy vibrant city with an interesting fashion scene with lots of fun shops. And there's a lively city centre with bars and cafés for everyone.
From our house, city centre is only about 20 minutes by bike or public transport.
Antwerp is also very well situated as base to discover Belgium and even the Netherlands or parts of France. High speed trains take you to Amsterdam in only 1,5 hours and to Paris in 2,5 hours. From Antwerp you are also very close by all the big cities in Belgium. Or if you prefer some biking or walking, there are lots of areas to discover for you like Kalmthoutse Heide, Pajottenland, Flemish Ardennes and the Ardennes. By car you only need 1 hour or maybe 2 hours to reach all the interesting sightseeing landmarks in Belgium.
