Myself and my 8 years old boys had two weeks of lovely time in Geneviève and André’s apartment in Canet . My husband had to stay home due to his work schedule. Their home was perfectly prepared for our arrival with beautiful welcome gifts basket and drink holder with Paris 24 to keep for many years to come . Communication was very easy all the way through and any questions we had were answered quickly even with time differences. They are just wonderful and I well organized and couldn’t ask for more. The location enabled us to explore many areas even though I didn’t rent the car , public transport was great. We walked almost everyday to the most amazing, clean, warm , shallow sandy beach. We did use the pool few time when felt a bit lazy . We had a day trip to Perpignan and Collioure ( must go ) My children loved playing with board games and watch TV after a full day activities. The apartment is modern, bright, super clean and yet warm and cosy and had everything we needed to feel very at home. I would really recommend an exchange with Genevieve and Andre and see this amazing place that not yet discover with lots of tourists:)) you can fly from London stansted , Leeds and Birmingham and many other places. Easy access from most of Europe with train or on the bus. We would love to go back in near future. Thank you so much for your kindness ,generosity and trust. -
We started chatting with Leila at the end of April and subsequently communicated at least 1 or 2 dozen times 😉 after that either in writing or on WhatsApp video calls. These discussions with Leila and her husband, Ken and their 2 boys allowed us to get to know each other and to trust each other. As we couldn't make a simultaneous exchange, we came to an exchange agreement via a Globe. Leila and her family are now our friends. Leila was on her first exchange and needed to be reassured, but above all to be convinced of the benefits of home exchange. We now feel that she won't do without it. Being in Quebec at the time of this exchange, we were unable to personally check the condition of our apartment after their departure, but we are convinced that it is in its original condition. Thank you, Leila, for trusting us and we are especially happy to know that you loved your 1st home exchange. Geneviève & André

André et Geneviève's home is lovely and everything you can wish for as a dream exchange. It is a modern build with a lovely sea view and spacious and really has everything needed to make it a comfortable and carefree stay. Communication both before and during our stay and André et Geneviève got right back to us with any questions we had. We hope to meet in person in the future and hopefully hosting them for a stay in Seattle if their plans bring them our direction. -
We very warmly thank Geneviève and André who offered us hospitality and made it possible to carry out our 1st exchange on people like us! They also helped us evolve on the platform and reassured us about this new vacation mode. Everything is perfect, an extremely well equipped apartment, located on the 6th floor with windows that all have views of the sea and the port! High standard in the apartment and the residence. Very well located, a bakery at the bottom of the 3 residences, 10 minutes from the port, the beach, the center, shopping centers nearby... EVERYTHING you need is around! what more ! always a parking space available at the bottom of the residence. Geneviève and André are adorable, we communicated very easily by email then by whatsapp, and even made videos! They helped us in video because technical problem on site with the central closing of the blinds. The explanatory manual of the apartment is a great help and is well detailed. We communicated a lot and found common bridges. We hope to be able to meet around a meal when they come to France. Heartfelt thanks ! -
In July 2023, we offered hospitality to Sandrine and her family who were looking for a vacation spot near the sea while we returned to our apartment in Canada. We didn't ask for anything in return. We could have but we didn't do it out of friendship and also out of a desire to give back. Sandrine and her family really enjoyed the time spent in our apartment in Canet en Roussillon. Not only did they leave us way too many gifts as thanks but they left leaving our apartment clean and tidy. Thank you Sandrine, Laurent and Jules for the delicious Foie Gras and the delicious home-cooked Pork Pâté. And of course, for all the other “useful” gifts you left us. We look forward to meeting you eventually. Geneviève & André
