We are a small family of four: Apolline (5), Johannes (7), Christelle et Albrecht. We are both teaching languages at the Lycée International de Ferney-Voltaire.
Nous sommes ouverts à toute proposition.
Nous avons passé un super séjour dans la maison d'Albrecht et Christelle et de leurs enfants, qui ont tout fait pour que des parisiens comme nous profitent à fon des joies de la neige et de la région.
Guide la maison très très complet, prêt du matériel de ski et des raquettes (pour maman qui ne fait pas de ski), toute la documentation sur les pistes et programme complet des stations pour la semaine, bonnes adresses (ah, les fromages de Michelin...), petites attentions à l'aller et au retour, des supers conseils de visites et sorties avec les enfants, et une communication hyper facile avant, pendant et après l'échange : tout était impeccable !
Un échange que nous recommandons sans hésiter
(et on y retournera parce que je n'ai pas eu le temps de découvrir le ski de fond au Vatay, et ça a l'air génial!).
Merci en core pour tout aux parents et aux enfants !
