A very comfortable home in Bourges with all the appliances and comforts you need. Close to the centre of historic medieval Bourges with it's marvellous Gothic style Cathedral and local produce markets. We also did a car exchnage which meant we could visit lots (and lots) of amazing castles and museums in the surrounding contryside. Jean-Marc has left lots of information for us and also arranged for some friends to meet with us and share some hospitality. We enjoyed this very much. We also met Jean-Marc on our last night in Bourges, when he returned from Australia. We had much to talk about and now consider Jean-Marc to be one of our friends that we hope to see again the next time we visit that area of France.
J’ai eu la chance de rencontrer Fiona et Anthony, et le courant est bien passé entre nous. Avant le voyage, Fiona m’a donné de nombreuses informations qui m’ont été très utiles pendant mon séjour à Brisbane. La maison est très jolie et “historique”. De type “Queenslander”, elle a été partiellement refaite, tout en conservant son âme passée (elle est plus que centenaire). Spacieuse, elle offre tout le confort que l’on peut attendre d’un échange. Mes hôtes ont très bien pris soin de ma maison.

My name's Jean-Marc, 66 years old, I was a teacher in primary school and I'm now retired.
I'm a widower and I have 2 sons, Remi and Adrien are both adults now (30 and 33 years old) and are off travelling the world themselves. Occasionally, they spend their holidays with me.
It will be 20 years, this year, that with my wife and children, we have started to travel with Intervac. Now, I travel alone or accompanied by a friend.
I like long walks, whether in nature or in the city. Everything is to be discovered !
I don't smoke and I don't drink alcohol !
