A nice house in Chateaugiron 14 km SE Rennes (Brittany)
We are looking for a 1 to 3 weeks long swap for summer.
We are also interrested in "youth/children exchange".
We are a family with 3 children. We live in a bright modern house (built in 2010) in Chateaugiron, medieval castle and typical village. 14 Km from Brittany’s capital Rennes (pop. 200 000). We are both civil engineers. We have a very kind mostly outdoor cat.
Our house is comfortable. It is 146 m² and has 4 bedrooms (2 double, 1 single and one with bunk bed). There are a bathroom and a shower room. There are bicycles for the whole family and scooters. Baby equipment is available if needed.
The living room opens on a nice garden with a terrace. Our children are growing up but we still have plenty of toys and board games for all ages. Wifi, TV with many foreign channels. We live in a quiet residential suburb with friendly neighbourhood.
We will be happy to give you advices about what to do in the area regarding your tastes.
After 10 wonderfull intervac experiences (Goteborg Sueden, Tavistock (UK), Skerries near Dublin, Amsterdam, Salt Lake City, Toronto, Barcelona, Galway, Netherland and Helsinki) we are looking for other exchanges. We dream to go to Sweden, Copenhagen, Scotland, Berlin but are open to any destination.
Suprise us!
For summer we are mostly interested on a house with a garden or a flat with balcony not too far from a big city. Smaller accommodations are ok for other holidays. We can exchange car also (we have a Toyota Verso 7 pl).
We are also host family for foreign teenagers (we already host a Young irish girl, a german boy, a belgium girl, an Australian boy and a spanish one for 6 to 8 weeks).
We are also interested in "exchanging" our children who learns English and spanish.

We had a great stay in Brittany in an absolutely marvelous house. All you could need as a family with children was there and our kids really enjoyed the big garden and cool toys. Brittany has a lot to offer and because we could use the car, we were able to see beautiful beaches, nice forests and quaint towns. The communication with Fabienne and Jerome was very easy and they informed us about everything we needed to know. And also important: they left our house in perfect order. We definitely recommend this house and this lovely family for a swap!
We've enjoyed this exchange a lot. The contact with Fabienne and Jerome was always very pleasant, they have a beautiful modern house ideal for families with young kids like ours. Chateaugiron is a nice small village and a good starting point to get to know to Eastern side of Bretagne.
We had a wonderful exchange and happily give our recommendation!
Excelente intercambio. Ningún problema. Cuidaron perfectamente de nuestra casa.

Hello,
Jérôme is working as civil engeneer calculating piles and retaining wall for underground car-park or subway. He reads a lot and started to learn to play the euphonium to play with the childrens a few years ago.
Fabienne is working as a civil engeneer for insurance companies. She is interested in architecture and modern art and plan to start learning to play the piano when she'll be less busy.
our sons: Jules is a kind and serious boy. He is now studing in Rennes.
Léopold is an enthusiastic boy. He plays the flute (in a classical orchestra and a rock band). Music is one of his passions. He plays basketball too. He is always happy to discover and try new things.
our girl : Celeste is a very calm girl. She learns to play the trumpet. She plays basketball too. She love playing with lego and boards games.
The childrens are very good friends and love outdoor activities.
We are all Harry Potter's fan.
We all love traveling and we enjoy having foreign students at home wich is an other way of traveling...
