Large house in Quimper, beautiful town, Brittany, France
We are a French couple and we have been travelling all over Europe for nearly 20 years now.
All our children are university students and will not take part in our home exchanges any more.
As a consequence, we are now looking for home swaps for two people only.
Quimper is a very pleasant town to live in and visit and the area is quite beautiful, with a very scenic coastline.
Do not hesitate to ask us for any further information .
Here are a few pictures :
Our house has got three floors:
In the basement, we have a laundry.
On the first floor, you have four rooms ( from 16 to 20 square metres)/ the lounge (with piano), the dining room (library), the kitchen and the parents' bedroom plus a toilet, a washbasin and a shower.
On the upper floor, there are four large bedrooms plus a toilet and a bath.
Garden (1,000m2)

Our Neighbourhood
Nearest Airport: Pluguffan - 6 km
we are a 10 -minute walk from the medieval town center. We live in a quiet area although it is in town .
There is a park 200 meters away from our house and at the same distance you also have a baker's and a butcher's shop. 5mns away, there is a shopping area with a very big supermarket. Our garden is quite large( 1000 square meters).
As for the beaches, there are quite a lot of them around, between 15 and 25 kms away. Whether you drive up North, south, or west you'll always find nice sandy beaches. We usually go to the Treustel , not far from Combrit as it is very safe for the kids.
If you want to go hiking, we have a lot of information at home about walking paths.Moreover,you have a lot of beautiful coastal paths around .
If you want to go sailing, you can go to Loctudy or La Forêt-Fouesnant ( a famous sailing harbour where a lot of famous French skippers come from) and there is also the famous « Ecole des Glénans » where young people learn sailing)
On the cultural side, we have a rather good « Musée des Beaux Arts » plus a museum about Breton culture
There is also the « Musée Gauguin » in Pont-Aven.
On the third week of July, there is « Le Festival de Cornouaille » a traditional celtic festival with a lot of concerts and activities for the kids ( They can dress up as peasants in traditional costumes for example)

BE065Très bel échange avec une famille qui est convaincue du bonheur d’échanger sa maison. Excellente communication et excellents contacts en personne.
Neufchâteau, Belgium
BE1009963Nous recommandons vivement les échanges avec Jean-Luc et Annaïck, leur maison est très bien située dans un endroit calme de la ville. Elle est grande et très confortable, très bien entretenue et agréable à vivre. Nous les avons rencontrés avec beaucoup de plaisir, leur accueil et leur gentillesse nous ont touchés.

BE1012846Quimper and the wild coasts of Bretagne were a discovery, as was the authentic and charming house (with garden!) of Annaïck and Jean-Luc. The center of Quimper is within walking distance, the sea is some 25 tot 35 km away. Beautiful exchange, beautiful people, who in our apartment had to cope with a clogged toilet bowl! Luckily, our neighbours were very helpful!

GBSE004978We met the couple in advance and got on really well. They had given us good suggestions on where to stop in both directions too.
Their house was in a good location within a very nice town with plenty of cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance. We also enjoyed walking along the river in Quimper.
We had everything we needed and it was easy to stay in their lovely home. We thoroughly enjoyed the easy access to all of the lovely nearby beaches.

IE1018430The Bianic family visited our holiday home in Dec 2019, they were very friendly and took excellent care of our home. Our return visit to France was planned for Summer 2020 but did not take place due to Covid travel restrictions, they have kindly offered to accommodate this postponed visit at a later date.

NL7976Aardige, prettige mensen, die we ook hebben ontmoet (in ons huis, aan het einde van de ruil); het huis is goed bewoonbaar, ook met meerdere personen en/of kinderen en ligt heel gunstig ten opzichte van het centrum, winkels en de uitvalswegen. De omgeving is fantastisch!

SE3043Allt är korrekt presenterat på hemsidan. Ett trevligt hus med alla bekvämligheter. Lätt att parkera och köra till och från huset och lätt att gå ner till centrum. Quimper är en mycket trevlig stad. Nära att köra till fantastisk natur.
