Many thanks to the Lavergne family, who proposed the exchange, so that we finally could explore the Loire Valley with its wonderful Chateaux, churches, villages and vines. We enjoyed the calm city live in summer and experienced the french way of living in the nice home with a daily start on the terasse with great croissants and baguette. The green garden and a wind breeze helped during the surprisingly hot days in this summer 2018. By bike or short walk you may enjoy evening concerts or culture events downtown. Several suggestions, maps and directions showed us the huge selection for activities for couples or families in Anjou (kayak, bike trips, swimming, sailing if you only like sport), so we could have stayed easily another 2 1/2 weeks. Many thanks for you surprising angevin delicacies at our arrival and your internet for our daily planning. Thank you for opening your house and your french culture to our family. We will have a long time a wonderful memory and hope the next generation will continue this cultural path. Our house and garden was very well taken care off.
