About our home

Our house is an old renovated farmhouse, very typical of the area we live in and furnished with antiques. It's very comfortable and can easily accomodate 8 people. The first floor has a TV, DVD player, VCR, computer (DSL), 2 bedrooms, a very big kitchen, a big living room and a bathroom. The second floor is the kids' place, with two bedrooms, a living room and a bathroom. It's equipped with TV, DVD player, computer and a piano as well as many toys.We've got a big safe space outside with games for children, BBQ and so on! The area is very quiet. We also have a big barn with a music workshop (drums, synthetiser, guitar)and a painting workshop.

More about us

Geraldine and Alain, both in our early 40's and teachers, we have a passion for the USA and travels in general. We have two children, Pierre and Agathe, aged 8 and 10 and we'd like to make them discover other places in the world! We like the arts in general, music and painting in particular. We're looking for a very different scenery. We're looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Where is it?

Neighbourhood

Our typical old house is located in a little village very close to the medieval city of Troyes(Champagne), with plenty of bars, restaurants and shops(a lot of clothes factory stores!), and free concerts every week-end in the summer(less than 5 km to downtown ). Our street is very quiet, but you'll find all shops at a few meters from there. Also, a big lake "de la forêt d'orient" with sand beaches, sidewalk cafés and restaurants,(20 km). A long bicycle way (42 km)where you can practise roller skate or bicycle. 2 golfs (15 & 30 km). Paris is 150 km, by direct train or car(highway). Reims(champagne) is 120 km by car(highway). EuroDisney (130 km highway)Dijon (burgundy) is 160 km (highway). We'd prefer a place for 4 people in the USA, but are open to any country !
