Bourges, European Capital of Culture in 2028
The house is situated in BOURGES, 2 hours south of Paris. It's a medieval town, with a famous cathedral, not far from the Loire castles.
The region is also the heart of France Vineyard (Sancerre, Menetou Salon....)
The house is located in a quiet area. There is a small garden and a terrace just near the kitchen, where you can take your meals in summer.
Behind the house, you can have a walk or ride with the bikes along the "Berry waterway".
At 5 minutes walk you have a supermarket, a baker, a butcher, the post office, banks, a hairdresser, ...
At 5 minutes by car you have more supermarkets and more shops.

About Our Family
My name's Jean-Marc, 65 years old, I was a teacher in primary school and I'm now retired (since the 1st of november 2024). My 2 sons, Remi and Adrien are both adults now (29 and 32 years old) and are off travelling the world themselves. Occasionally, they spend their holidays with me.
The exchange will take place without my wife, Beatrice, who died 2 years ago. Together, we have had pleasant house exchanges in Sweden (x2), Canada (Québec and British Colombia), Finland, Spain, Deutschland (x2), Iceland, Ireland, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Poland, Greece, Bruges, London and Amsterdam.
I don't smoke and I don't drink alcohol !
I have no more pet.
