Description
We are a family of 4 looking for genuine cultural experiences, ready to share our family life, language, meals and so on. We live in a 7 500 inhabitants town called Yssingeaux. Our area is surrounded by very old volcanoes called "Sucs" so if you like being outdoors, going for walks and so on, you'll be amazed at the landscapes. Our town is also home of the Alain Ducasse National French Pastry School so we have people coming from various countries.
If you'd rather cycle or walk, that's a possibility as we live 1.7km away from the town centre.
