Lille, France
FR1007264It was Claire and Andy's first exchange but it was like they had done this before !
They were very welcoming and arranged everything for our stay
Their house is very warm and cosy and lovely - a typical UK house (we loved the bow window) recently refurbished and Walthamstow combines a charming british village with the proximity to London
