General overview
Our house is a large, fully renovated, fabulous family home that we renovated to be able to welcome guests and family. We can comfortably sleep 10+ people in five bedrooms (four double and one with twin beds that can be joined). There are three full bathrooms and one extra toilet downstairs. The kitchen is a mix between modern and traditional, a modern style kitchen with a small bar, a very large farmhouse-style dining area and all modern appliances. Although we have central heating, we also have a wood burner in the upstairs living room.
Our house is particularly welcoming to children - we have three of our own - so we have all the toys, strollers, high chairs, baby cots, tricycles, etc you could need. We have a large, safe trampoline, a fenced inground pool and a large play area with two swings, a playhouse and a slide.
It is a wonderful place from which to explore the southwest of France - just 2.5 hours from the beaches on the west coast and 45 min from the Pyrenees mountains. The third largest city in France, Toulouse, is 1.5 hours away. You can visit the Airbus factories, go skiing, swim in the Atlantic - all are feasible day trips.
Our family lives close enough to help out if necessary, and there are fabulous hikes and trails from the doorstep!

Neighbourhood
Our house is in the southern part of the Gers. The Gers is one of the most unspoiled regions in France, and is considered one of the last truly rural areas of the country. If you love farmers' markets, incredible produce, hiking, fishing, historic villages and scenic driving, this is the place for a perfect vacation.
Our small village is a beautifully tranquil place located on a river, with a supermarket and most amenities ten minutes away. We have the best of all worlds here ...we are away from it all but not isolated. Pace of life is very relaxed here: lunches can go on for hours, and the food in the local markets is spectacular.
Nearest airport
The closest airport is Tarbes / Lourdes, near the Lourdes sanctuary. It is about a 40' drive. There are Volotea and Ryanair flights daily to Paris and other European destinations. The larger international airport, Toulouse, is about 90 minutes away.

My husband Aymeric and I are both public servants and have three children - ages 16, 14 and 10. We've lived all over the world in Asia and Africa and now call Brussels, Belgium home; but our home of the heart is in my husband's childhood village in Southwest France, in the Gers.
I grew up doing house exchanges with my parents and sister back when the homes came in a catalogue and letters through snail mail, so this is not new to me. I am looking forward to getting to know PLU members and having some wonderful exchange experiences.
