We live in a lovely, cozy single-family home. The house is located in Cap-Rouge, on a very quiet street, where the kids love to play! The neighborhood is peaceful, and our neighbors very friendly.
The space
The house consists of the following rooms:
- Adult bedroom and children's bedroom on the first floor;
- Open-plan living room with kitchen and small bistro area;
- Two bathrooms, one on the first floor and one in the basement;
- Large basement family room with children's games and musical instruments;
- Two other rooms in the basement, one of which we're going to convert into a bedroom with a single bed.
Here you'll find children's games, board games, musical instruments, TV, sound system, crockery kit, etc. You'll want for nothing!
Outside, we've laid out a pleasant courtyard with atmospheric evening lighting and a small fountain. We have a table, chairs, rocking chairs and two sofa chairs.
A play module and sandbox are available for children, and we install a hammock on sunny days.
In our large garden shed, you can use the bikes and other children's games (sand toys, ball, field hockey stick, baseball, etc.), or any other equipment that might interest you.
We also have a car that could be part of the exchange, to be discussed.

We're a family of three. I'm an engineer and passionate musician, while my wife works in community recreation and teaches yoga to children. Our 8-year-old son loves lego, reading and creative outdoor play.
We are reliable, caring people who love the simple things in life, nature, good family time, good food, and travel. We've been traveling with our son since he was two, camping across Canada, and are now excited to discover new countries, new landscapes and new people!
