  • Description

    Description

    We are Karen and Kim-David. We are 40 and 41 (so middle age but young in mind). We have two children.
    We are French and Kim-David is of Vietnamese ascent (so he knows how to cook delicious Vietnamese meals !).
    My husband and I speak English fluently, and a bit of Spanish and German, too. We love travelling and discovering other cultures. My husband and I are software development trainers, we love new technology. However, we avoid screens at home after work (we don't have a TV). We prefer chatting with our children, playing music and having a great time with them. We have WiFi, though, so we can work comfortably at home nonetheless.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Our house is in the countryside, between Le Faou (ten minutes by bike) and L'hôpital-Camfrout. We live next to the river, five minutes on foot. We have a great view on the river. It's the perfect place for relaxing. We have a garden and many trees around the house.

    In summer, there are many village festivals in the viscinity : concerts, dances, exhibitions, old boats...). We are at the begininng of "the pointe of Crozon", a very famous place that we can reach after a 35 minutes car ride.

    We have a bedroom on the ground floor with an independent shower and the toilets are in the corridor just next to it. Our bedrooms are on the first floor, so you can have a private space. We love cooking and we appreciate sharing our meals and experiences. My husband is a good cook and I like baking dessert. We can share breakfasts and dinners because we are not at home for the day. We generally don't have food restrictions except for some food allergies.
