Description
I'm a French high school teacher and I can help you with the French language. I understand and speak English. I live in a flat but I have a private small garden. Your accommodation will be private (room/bathroom and little kitchen for yourself on the second floor). Home is located in the city-center but it's very quiet. Public transport is 100 meters away from home.
I'm very fond of literature and I like to sing and listen to music. I'm a very quiet person who likes to read. I need everyday help in the house and garden. I offer accommodation and breakfast in exchange of 2 hours of work /a day but I let you prepare and cook your own meals. I will prepare mine. (very simple and basic food for myself). Friends will pop in now and then and you will be invited to share moments with us. I like company and can offer you visits of the city and walks along the river. Seaside is only one hour of train from home. I have no car and only use public transport. There is a garage for your bike or your car.

I can fetch you from the train station (by public transport).
I'll be delighted to take you to a concert or any cultural event happening here.

Looking forward to meeting you!
