“We had a great home exchange with Manu and family in France Alps. There house is nice and good located in Briancon. Our little girl loved to play with all the toys in the house. Small river are close to the house and it was cosy to hear the river sound in the morning. We loved the French Baguette and wines. Briancon is well located in the Alps, so you can choose from many activities to do or just relax in sandy beach that can be found near many different lakes in the Alps. We can highly recommend to perform a home exchange with Manu and family they left our house like it was when we left it. Thanks Þorgeir, María, Aron and Brynhildur”

Emmanuel's reviews
As a host (3)“We arranged our non simultaneous swap with Colette and Emmanuel in August and we had a wonderful time. Briancon is a lively, charming village and there is plenty to see and do in that area. Colette and Emmanuel’s home is very nice. Spacious, comfortable and cosy. And very well located too. All the things in their home are at your fingertips and perfectly organized and Colette and Emmanuel left us all the instructions we needed. Because of the non simultaneous swap, we also had the luck of meeting their warm, friendly family. It was our first exchange, and we loved it very much. We would highly recommend swapping with them. Barbara and Sergio (Genova, Italy)”
“These family home was lovely and the house swap to Briancon was very enjoyable. It is an excellent base from which to explore the Alps and there are lots of activities to do from trekking to white water rafting to mountain biking in breath taking landscape. These family left excellent information and a very comfortable home which made this holiday a memorable one.”

It would be our fifth exchange and we would like to exchange a lot by mail to prepare your trip to France in the alps and to know each other better before the swap.
