We had a lovely time in Andre and Genevieve’s apartment in Candy-en-Roussillon. The apartment is beautifully set up with great balconies and views. Andre and Genevieve were so responsive to any questions and very easy to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble. There is an excellent bus service into Perpignan if needed. It is easy to walk to local supermarkets and into the main beach and shopping area of the village. Even better there is a wonderful patisserie about 100 meters away for your morning croissants. We had a delightful visit.

We had the best stay at Andre and Genevieve’ apartment in Canet in exchange for our globe.
The apartment was perfect for our stay, really clean and very comfortable.
Andre and Genevieve were easy to communicate with and answered our queries quickly despite being in Canada during our stay.
Canet is a beautiful location. The apartment is a short walk from the beach and the town. There is a boulangerie close by. The beach is beautiful - long sandy beach front, lovely pedestrian promenade and the water was gorgeous.
Highly recommend this gem of a place, away from tourist hordes and offering a real glimpse into French life.
Thank you for hosting us!
It was a great pleasure we were able to exchange with André and Geneviève. There apartment is a real beauty, spacious, comfortable and very clean., with beautiful view from all of the windows. They made us a lunch when we met and to introduce the appartement. Thanks a lot , we did enjoy very much.
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
Geneviève and André are regulars at home exchanges and represent the spirit of sharing and mutual aid that surrounds these exchanges. After a short videoconference call, we knew they were people we trusted. Their visit to our house was impeccable and they were kind enough to leave us a small gift. Communication with them was easy and would not hesitate to welcome them back!
André and Geneviève were very friendly people and they left our house in a perfect condition.
Andre and Genevieve were lovely to host. They are friendly and were respectful to our space. The communication was easy- great experience hosting them!
The residence of André and Nancy is superb and spacious. It is very well equipped with appliances and very clean. You can see that these are people who take care of their property. We felt very comfortable there. In addition, it is well located... very close to many shops, grocery stores, pharmacy, banks, playgrounds for children, near Montreal, etc.
Having made a last-minute exchange request ourselves, André and Nancy immediately reacted to our request for a reciprocal exchange so that it could be carried out. They were outstanding guests leaving our apartment very clean. We are sorry though that public transportation in our neighborhood was disrupted during your stay.
We learned that a few days before the exchange that some bridges and streets would be closed to allow for an IRON MAN to be held in our residential area.
Thank you Nancy, Sheina, Philippe and André for this beautiful last minute exchange. You might be offered to repeat this experience but this next time would be for a longer stay 🤞.
See you
Geneviève & André
I took a long time to write a review because I didn't go to Wendy's house because it was an exchange for a globe and I won't be going back to our apartment in Canet en Roussillon until November, so it's hard for me to say how Wendy and her husband left our apartment.
Another couple followed them several weeks later. This couple didn't mention any problems when they arrived at our apartment.
I therefore conclude that everything has been left in perfect condition as is the case every time we accept a home exchange.
I can say, however, that we had pleasant discussions with Wendy and her husband before and during the fellowship period. My confidence was therefore complete.

Mary & Arthur's apartment is very spacious and very clean. 2 nice recliners in the living room to relax in after a good day's walk. Nice big shower just the way we like it. Fully equipped, clean kitchen.
Their building is located in a vibrant shopping area, so many grocery stores, pharmacies, stores, cinemas, restaurants, everything is close by, and many of these shops are open until 10 p.m... which is very convenient for buying food for the next breakfast, and all that without suffering from the festive frenzy when you're inside.
Delft is very pleasant to walk around, but you must watch out for the many bicycles... we've never seen so many. We didn't use public transport, as we prefer to walk.
On the other hand, we took our car to visit the other dazzling regions of the Netherlands, but we could easily have got there by public transport.
We'll have to return to the Netherlands again, as we didn't see everything!
Geneviève & André
Thanks, we are glad you enjoyed and remember whenever you come back to the Netherlands, you are more than welcome to meet again.
Since we first received a message from Mary & Arthur, we felt a good connection. We communicated several times by email and made WhatsApp video calls throughout the process before, during and after the conclusion of this exchange.
We are grateful to Mary & Arthur for offering us this exchange. Otherwise, we might never have been to the Netherlands and that would have been a shame as it's a beautiful country to visit.
We got to know each other well over a light meal when they arrived in Canet en Roussillon. Mary & Arthur are lovely people. They took good care of our home.
What's more, they provided us with leaflets and recommendations of local and regional sites and restaurants that they visited during their stay, to add to our poor collection since we're not much of a restaurant fan.
As the cherry on the cake, Mary & Arthur left us some small gifts, one of which was a nod to our frog collection.
Thank you, Mary & Arthur, for this wonderful exchange, which will remain engraved in our memories.
Geneviève & André
Geneviève and André were glad with our suggestion to exchange and we were glad they were open-minded to accept our offer to visit a country they had never been to. We did meet at lunch with a delicious soup and a basket full of presents..
We had a great time in the spacious and comfortable appartment of Geneviève and André. The great view from the windows and balcony was always fascinating. Surroundings, little French villages were great. We did feel like home.
We stayed with Megan in exchange for a Globe. Communication was very good. We appreciated Megan's speed in responding to our last-minute request and accommodating us. Her home is very conveniently located near downtown Charlottetown. Thank you, Megan!

We have never met Jeanne and Antoine except via WhatsApp but we are convinced that we have made new friends.
They occupied our residence in Canet en Roussillon in exchange for a Globe. But above all, we communicated with them multiple times either via the Messages option on the PLU site, via our respective email addresses or even via WhatsApp.
Communications have always been friendly, respectful and above all FRIENDLY.
Jeanne and Antoine even volunteered to buy the small additional gifts that we wanted to add to the welcome basket intended for the PLU family who would occupy our apartment following their stay.
Being, at the moment, a little too far from Canet en Roussillon, we were unable to check, after their departure, if our apartment was clean and met our criteria. But, we are not at all worried and even rather confident that the next visitors will have nothing to complain about this residence. They will just have to settle in and enjoy the beach and the activities that this region offers.
We hope that one day, we will be able to meet them in person either during a future exchange or during a GET TOGETHER organized by PLU in a region where we would be there at the same time as them.
Thank you Jeanne & Antoine for this budding friendship and for ensuring that our apartment in Canet is ready for future occupants.

Unfortunately, due to an emergency hospitalization on our part, we were not able to go to Josée's house.
However, Josée occupied our residence in Quebec as planned for the duration of our agreement.
Communication with Josée was always very pleasant and simple, from the start of the talks to the end of the exchange.
Good morning,
We exchanged our apartment in Gatineau in Quebec, Canada with that of Josée, living in the suburbs of Madrid.
Unfortunately, due to an emergency hospitalization on our part, we were not able to go to Josée's house. However, Josée occupied our residence in Quebec as planned for the duration of our agreement.
Communication with Josée was always very pleasant and simple, from the start of the talks to the end of the exchange.
Josée left our apartment as it was when she arrived, very clean.
Josée really enjoyed her stay with us so much that she plans to return in the near future. Of course, we will not hesitate to accept his offer, hoping that next time we can occupy his apartment and visit Madrid.
We recommend Josée as an exchange partner, you will not regret it.

Hospitality
Sandrine and her family had contacted us to do a mutual home exchange with our apartment in Canet en Roussillon in France and their second home in the mountains also in France.
Unfortunately, this was not possible for us, as our time spent outside of Canada, being Canadian, over the past year had already passed. So we offered them hospitality. This allowed them to enjoy the wonderful climate of Canet, the beach, the sea, etc. and this, in all family intimacy.
The many written, telephone and video exchanges allowed us to get to know each other well and to trust each other.
The discussions with Sandrine and her spouse were easy and pleasant. They never hesitated to contact us when they had any questions and even saved us from a real water damage problem as the bathroom sink pipe was leaking and some water had started to accumulate in the drawer below. Thank you Sandrine and Laurent for this troubleshooting.
At the end of their stay, Sandrine made us a short video of our apartment to show us how they left our apartment. A very good idea this video that protects visitors and reassures owners.
Thank you Sandrine and Laurent for trusting us. We can't wait to meet you face-to-face, surely next fall or winter.
We give you a big hug to each of you... Sandrine, Laurent, Jules and the biggest
