House close to ROUILLON, close 10 minutes from Le MANS ( 24 hours CAR Race ) France
Our home is named Marine Terrace. it was the name of Victor Hugo's house in Jersey. This building doesn't exist anymore. As teacher in french litterature, I wanted to give a special feeling to our newbuilt home.
Our home is a nice country home, gustavian style decoration.
Very pleasant for a family with children ( with a cabane in the garden )
and close to the well-known town LE Mans ( 24 hours Car Race museum and circuit )
Close to Tours - Saumur ( castles of the Loire valley in 1 hour by car and the famous wineyards ) and Paris ( 55 minutes by TGV train) seaside also ( St Malo is 1hour and half by car or train )
We have done 29 exchanges, all sucessful and we met a lot of people in all Europ and some of them became very close friends.
