Valérie place is authentic and has a lot of character and Valérie made it a cosy home. We felt at home.
Valérie did her utmost to provide us with local insights before and during our stay. We have done and visited things we would never have found ourselves.
Pau is a hidden gem and with the info from Valérie you really experience this wonderfull city.
Pau can be reached by TGV. It took us less than 12 hours to reach it form Apeldoorn in the Netherlands.
We were able to use Valéries car for our trips. We hiked and visited Lourdes. Walked through Pau, enjoyed local (vegan) cuisine and so much more.
Thank you so much for hosting us, Valérie. We had a beautiful time discovering the region and were very comfortable at your home. Thanks you for letting us use your bike and your car, that was very convenient. The house has lots of space and was very cool in the summer.
We haven't been there yet. But we are looking forward to meeting you and finding your dream home in Gelos France.
I stayed 14 days in Valerie’s house and we had a pleasant stay there.
It was clean and had perfect atmosphere for a relax stay.
She is planning some renovations.
Communication was super good.
We had a little video chat beforehand.
She took great care of our place too while we where away and she took good care of my car Bruce.
She said she had not green fingers so we asked our son to take care of the garden.
I would definitely recommend her as your future exchange
Valerie was a great guest and host !
Recommend her house in Pau , perfect communication also.
She took good care for Bruce,
I would love to have her any time back here

We were pleased that Valérie offered us the option of an overnight stay on our journey. As a token of appreciation we took her out for dinner and it turned out to be a pleasant evening.
I enjoyed too your visit.
Before and during the exchange we stayed in touch with Valérie. It is always nice to see your own country and place through the eyes of your host. Communication is always open and swift with Valérie.
Back home we found our home cleaner than we left it.
Valérie learned us how one can take a bike on a Dutch train (for us that was 20 years ago).
With Valérie's experience we can provide this information to future exchangers. This also is PLU.
Valérie was a lovely guest, our cat was very happy to have her around. Communication was fluid and she gave us a handmade present!
Thank you, Valérie, for staying in our apartment, taking care of our plants, photographing and sending our mail, leaving so many beautiful things behind, and even fixing a door that never closed properly. What a wonderful guest, we highly recommend her and can't wait to travel to Pau. Excellent!
Perfect guest !
Great guest, recommend her anytime
Clean, good communication too
J’ai passé un très bon séjour dans la maison de Ruud et Marloes à Apeldoorn qui est très accueillante. C’est agréable de profiter de la terrasse après une journée de visite. La région est belle, il y a de nombreuses villes à visiter, toutes accessibles en train, des champs de tulipes à proximité au printemps. Il est facile de se déplacer en vélo et un bus amène rapidement à la gare. Nous avons beaucoup communiqué avant et pendant l’échange. Ruud et Marloes m’ont donné de bons conseils et m’ont offert l’équipement parfait pour profiter du jour du roi. J’ai eu de la chance de pouvoir participer à cette fête.
Ruud et Marloes ont pris soin de ma maison.
Luciana and Alex's apartment is very pleasant and very well located for visiting London. Many buses pass very close to the apartment. The neighborhood is pleasant. I enjoyed the company of Eros.
Luciana and Alex took care of my house. I met Luciana who is a very nice person. She gave me useful tips for visiting London.
Le séjour de Laura et Tobias a été reporté car ils n’étaient pas disponibles
J’ai passé un séjour très agréable avec mes amies qui ont elles aussi été ravies. L’appartement de Laura et Tobias est superbe, la terrasse très agréable. Il est très bien situé pour visiter Berlin car proche de nombreuses lignes de transports en commun et dans un quartier particulièrement agréable.
What a great experience for my first exchange! Claudine and Paul's house is very pleasant, original and tastefully decorated with a large terrace where it is pleasant to eat and dream. It is located in a very nice area, close to public transport. We enjoyed the company of Bruce, Claudine and Paul's cat. The city of Antwerp and the neighboring towns are very beautiful and it is very easy to get around by bike.
Claudine and Paul are perfect guests, they are very kind, attentive. I found my flowery house, they did DIY work and I found beautiful gifts when I returned. I feel like I've known them for a long time, we talked a lot and I hope to see them again in France, Belgium...or elsewhere.
Perfect guests
