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.

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
