Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Beaune, BURGUNDY
Bonjour ! We are a French & Swiss family : Virginie, Frederic, Simon (15) and Mathilde (12). We are travellers, love sports, arts and like to open our eyes to new things and people. We are hoping to exchange our charming home in the heart of Burgundy (France) for a house in a mid or small size coastal town. Our idea is to have our kids join public school to improve their English, and take the opportunity to discover more of Australia. Our target dates are 6 weeks to 3 months during May/June to August 2024. By the way, Olympic games will take place at that time in Paris... just 3 hours away from our place. To get a feeling for our home, you may read reviews of our B&B "Le 14 Faubourg" (9,8/10 on Booking - the B&B will of course not run during the swap). Examples of reviews from Australian guests: "so much character"; "close to everything"; "so kind and helpful"; "everything about the property was amazing, from the moment we walked in we felt at home"; "warm & generous host"
