“My family of 5 from New Jersey (plus 4 more friends for a week) had the pleasure and privilege of exchanging our home with these family for two weeks in Aug 2015. First, prior to the exchange, I enjoyed a long and pleasant communication with Gweneal, which we then continued all through the exchange. The home is incredibly charming and extremely comfortable. I particularly loved the modern, well equipped kitchen; the beautiful front garden with its profuse flowers; and the beautiful and loving way the home is decorated. The village of St. Meloir des Ondes was very quiet and peaceful, yet there was a large and convenient supermarket within minutes from the house. We went to some fantastic outdoor markets nearby, our favorite was the weekly market in Dol de Bretagne. There is so much to see and do in Bretagne, so we found plenty to occupy ourselves for two weeks. Our favorite things: St. Malo, Mont St. Michel, The Cote du Granite Rose (especially the walk from Perros-Guirec to Ploumanac'h; Dinan; and so much more. You can see all my photos from our time in Bretagne at www.trustingtraveler.com Finally, do not hesitate to exchange with these family - they were awesome to deal with and I'm so happy to have exchanged with them.”
