Neighbourhood
Talensac is a very welcoming small town in Brittany.
It is located in the country of Brocéliande, country of Arthurian legends and Merlin. You can visit beautiful Breton villages and go for hikes and walks in the forest. The region has an intense community life and offers numerous Breton festivals and cultural events. We enjoy walking around the area and can offer advice for tours.
10km away is a leisure center on the edge of a lake with many activities for all ages: beach, treetop adventure, sailing...
Gourmets will appreciate our Breton products: French pancakes, pastries, seafood, and other typical recipes to make at home or to enjoy in restaurants.
Rennes is 20 minutes by car, or by bus or train. It is a large, dynamic city with a medieval center where it is good to walk and ride horses, and the Lices market renowned for its very good cuisine.
Talensac is a good starting point for visiting all of Brittany in summer and winter. We are less than 1 hour from the sea: Saint-Malo/Dinard to the north and the Gulf of Morbihan to the south. Mont Saint-Michel is 1 hour 15 minutes away, and Nantes (capital of the Dukes of Brittany) is 1 hour 30 minutes away.

We love our region. We can give advice on walks and visits. If you wish, we can take you on one of our favorite hikes.
We are always happy to receive guests for a snack or an aperitif.
We had a very relaxing holiday in Sophie and Xavier’s cozy and comfortable home! We appreciated all the activities for us and our 4 grown up sons and our daughter in law. Spending time in the beautiful private garden. Pool volley in the pool in nice weather, ping pong tournaments and even a tennis court next door. And lots of games! All the bedrooms also gave everyone the privacy they needed. The location is in the middle of Bretagne's most beautiful places and we visited many of them. They had made great effort in collecting brochures and leaving us suggestions. Communication was very easy and their hospitality was so great, we really felt relaxed and “at home”.
Thank you for this opportunity and for leaving our home in perfect condition 👌🏼
What a perfect place for an active family with kids. We really enjoyed the pool, the walking tracks, the view, the charming village, the bikes, the big kitchen, the classic dvd's and lots of room to play and relax.
Everything was ready for us when we came. From instructions, to local delicious foods, tourist information and fresh sheets to climb right into.
Sophie and her family are experienced home-exchangers and all communication is clear, friendly, fast and helpful. We had a great stay in Sophie's home and really enjoyed Bretagne and all it had to offer. We can definitely recommend this to others!
Sophie and her family left our home spotless! Thank you very much!
Sophie and her family have done loads of exchanges and you feel very safe handing your home over to them. We were also lucky enough that the took great care of our cat Stella during their stay.
When we came back you could hardly see that anyone had even been in the house. Everything was exactly as we left it. Except a lovely lovely greeting for us. I would not hesitate a minute to have this kind and considerate family stay in our home again.
We had a very good stay in Heidi's house.
It is very comfortable, with separate spaces, perfect for our life with our three older teenagers. The view of the fjord is magnificent and changes every moment of the day, depending on the weather and the time.
We took care of their cat, who is very independent and often lives outside in the summer.
The region is very beautiful. On the advice of Heidi and her husband, we were able to discover wonderful landscapes: waterfalls, mountains, islands...
The car exchange was very convenient: we were able to explore the region easily, without spending a lot of gas.
Thanks to Heidi and her family for hosting us in their beautiful home :)
Heidi's family took good care of our house, pool and car. They were 7 people at home and everything was tidy and clean when we returned.
Communication with Heidi was very good, throughout the stay.
Many thanks for this exchange!
We loved our exchange with Theresia and her family!
The communication was perfect. We got many tips for visiting. We communicated throughout our stay.
The house is very comfortable and well decorated, in a quiet area of Malmö. We received a very nice welcome.
Theresia lent us bicycles, which were very useful to visit the city.
We loved the area: we went to Copenhagen by train, visited Malmö by bike, and walked in the surrounding countryside and along the coast. A stay in Malmö means a lot of different activities. There is never a dull moment.
Theresia and her family took good care of our house and the pool. It was a pleasure to know that they were at home. Our house was returned to us in perfect condition.
We thank them for preparing to welcome other guests.
And a big thanks for the beautiful gift.
A perfect exchange! We highly recommend an exchange with Theresia and her family.
