A sweet apartment, in the french Alps, 4 hours by train from Paris

“It has been a beautiful and relaxing vacation! Just at few meters from the skilifts and the cableway the apartment is welcoming and cozy with all the comforts you need. The residence complex offers you many restaurants and bars, shops, supermarkets. There is a beautiful wellness center you can go to nearby where you can find an outdoor swimming pool opened even during winter with snow all around. We highly suggest Anne's place to those who love winter sports and mountains. ”

“We stayed in Anne's apartment in Le Corbier. It is in a great location and is well set up for families and very comfortable. The resort is huge, as you can see on the website, and the a chairlift is right at the bottom of the building, so you can literally step out of your skis into the building. Anne was very helpful in making the arrangements and was a great guest in our place.”

“We just came home from our non-simultaneous swap with Anne and her family in Le Corbier. For Christmas we went with our children for a ski-holiday and stayed one week in their second house. The apartment is very lovely; sunny, bright and clean and near the ski-slopes, ski-school and all other facilities. The view from the apartment is very very beautiful. Le Corbier is a very friendly place, with helpful and enthusiastic people. With splendid views, great ski slopes and international speaking ski instructors for the children. Anne grew up in Le Corbier and she is passionate to share her love for this fantastic place with other people. I absolutely agree with her; Le Corbier is a special place. I am very thankful we could exchange with this family and that we met in person. We really felt at home in the house of this friendly and generous family and we were sorry we had to leave. We highly recommend you to exchange your house with Anne and her family. And we will give you a warm welcome in Amsterdam.”

“This was the first of two exchanges to Paris in 3 months. Apart from a hic up with the arrangement of someone meeting me with the key on arrival very early am. This heralded the bad start great finish adage - from the moment I stepped into the centrally heated apt to the time I left I felt right at home. Anne and I were in constant touch with any queries there may have been. The apt was large by Paris standards and the little village of Nogent Sur Marne was delightful. I was able to have friends stay with me which was great. As happened in the second exchange I met Anne in Sydney and then again on departure. We had a fantastic day of exploring "Annes" Paris concluding with a lovely dinner at her friend Brunos home the night before departure. Both could not have been kinder. More lovely friend made in Paris”

“We stayed in Anne\'s apartment in Le Corbier. It is a lovely, comfortable and clean apartment, with a fantastic view out onto the slopes. It is located literally 2 minutes from a ski lift. It had everything you would need for a family with children. Comfortable beds, even for my husband who is 6 feet 5 inches tall! This was my family\'s first skiing holiday, Le Corbier is a great place to learn to ski. We had a very friendly English-speaking ski instructor. Everything in Le Corbier is easy to walk to, and well run. Anne was friendly and very good at communicating throughout the whole house swap. She was extremely loyal to her commitment, even though she no longer needed to stay in our house she still let us stay in her apartment - many thanks for a great holiday Anne!”

“Locating Anne's apartment within her building was a little frustrating so I would suggest you find out exactly what floor and which side of the building it is on. Once inside though we were very happy with the size, layout and amenities. Unfortunately, Anne was supposed to be away in South Africa but due to personal circumstances was not able to leave so we shared the apartment with her for the first few days. However, that aside we really loved the area and the village of Nogent Sur Marne is lovely with many quaint shops, patisseries and restaurants. We easily traveled into Paris by train on many occasions and the station is within easy walking distance. We were only able to have access to the car for 2 days so we took advantage of this and drove to nearby Riems and then on to Champagne - it was about a two hour drive all up, where we stayed overnight in a lovely castle. It was great given the situation, that Anne is such a lovely host and we enjoyed her company and advice. She was able to book taxis for us and converse with the people in Champagne about our booking. This was a great help. We also had a great night out with Anne and her boyfriend who drove us through the streets of Paris by night - a wonderful experience that we would not have had if they had not been there. It was a great holiday and hopefully we will get to go back again some time.”

“Our recent visit to Paris was one of the best trip we have ever taken! The wonderful accommodations played a large part in our enjoyment of the city. Our hosts’ home was just as described. In fact it was even better –comfortable, quiet, beautifully equipped, immaculate and very very cheerful. Ours happened to be a non simultaneous exchange and our host was available to us at all times. She was totally helpful without being the least bit obtrusive. As it happens, we developed a very nice friendship. The apartment is situated in the area of Nogent Sur Marne an area on the edge of Paris which offers easy access into Paris yet retains a beautiful village feel as well as providing all the necessary amenities. Stores of all description are within easy walking distance of the apartment. In addition,.the permanent market with the most fabulous fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, fish and baked goods is open three days a week.The location of the apartment was superb with three metro lines available reaching the centre of Paris in 20 minutes. After an action packed day of sightseeing and shopping in Paris it was a joy to return to the peacefulness of Nogent Sur Marne. I would not hesitate for a minute to recommend this fantastic exchange oppor”

“We recently stayed at Anne\'s lovely ski chalet in Le Corbier and had a wonderful time. After exchanging with Anne a few years ago in Paris, this was actually our second exchange! Her clean, tidy and comfortable chalet was able to accomodate the 5 of us and the views were amazing. There were a few supermarkets, nice restaurants and I even joined the gym for a week. It\'s very easy to get a taxi from the train station and once there, just hire all your ski equipment from a shop only metres away. Anne is a wonderful exchange partner with great communication!”

“We recently did an exchange with Anne and her two friends and had a very positive experience. We found Anne's place to be in a lovely suburb of Paris and were delighted that we could walk to wonderful little Parisian shops, supermarket, fruit and veg market or the metros. The apartment had everything we needed and we found it to be very quiet and quaint yet only a half hour from the busy Paris centre! We organised for Anne and her friends to have a contact in Mackay and she organised for us to have a contact in Paris which we found to be a really good idea. Our home and car were left immaculate and we thought it nice that Anne was even happy to feed our pet fish. It was nice that we got to know each other before the swap, Anne was always very helpful and we have even become friends!”

“We have enjoyed very much the great location of the apartment - right at the start of the lifts - it is really "ski-in/ski-out" kind of place. Le Corbier with its 1960's apartment blocks may not be the best and prettiest ski resort in France, but Sybelles skiing area is large and variable enough to satisfy all kinds of skiers - families, beginners but also advanced skiers would not be disappointed. We are rather experienced skiers spending several weeks every winter in the Alps - be it France, Austria and Italy - and we have enjoyed spending our exchange week there very much. We were lucky enough to have a few sunny days so we could make use of both of the balconies the apartment offers enjoying a glass of wine outside. Anne has a nice selection of jazz and world music CDs and player so we have also discovered some music we haven't known before. In general we've had very nice experience and if you are looking for an exchange into the skiing resort, you do not wish to have to use a car for the whole week and are not too picky regarding design and architecture in general, Le Corbier and Anne's apartment are just right for you.”

“This exchange gave us the opportunity to meet this wonderful family, Bruno, Anne and their children. They are very nice and helpful, I can say that is was much more than a simple exchange, we became friends! I recommend 100%. We have no words to express our gratitude and happiness Thanks for all Candido e Rosa”

“We recently returned from our 3 week swap with Anne, Bruno and the kids. We had a fantastic time in both their home in Paris and their ski chalet in Le Corbier. Both places were exactly what we were looking for as we planned to see elements of the Tour de France and we were able to achieve a life long dream in the comfort and convenience of a house swap. The communication with Anne was great and everything went smoothly. Anne and Bruno were also very responsive while on vacation if we had any questions at all. Our house and cars were cared for as if they were their own and would highly recommend a swap with this lovely family. Thanks! Lynn, Michael and Ayden”

“We skied in Le Corbier in March, our first experience of ski-ing in the Alps. The location of the apartment is excellent, overlooking the pistes and right next to the ski lifts. You are able to ski right back to the apartment block where the ski lockers are, which is bliss after a day ski-ing. Le Corbier had a very friendly atmosphere with hardly any queuing anywhere. The resort is linked to Les Sybelles that has 220 pistes hence ski-ing for all levels, which our party had!! The apartment had all that we needed for our very enjoyable holiday. Anne was great to deal with when arranging the exchange. We met Anne and her husband Bruno and the children when they came to our villa on their exchange in Javea. We got on perfectly as they are a very lovely family. We hope to exchange again in the future so we can meet them all again.”

“Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable en Janvier au Corbier chez Anne-Gaelle, qui connait vraiment bien la station et a ainsi pu nous conseiller. C'est très familial, sans voitures, tout est sur place, les gens sont vraiment accueillants. Et l'appartement est particulièrement agréable pour un appartement de station, bien organisé, clair et spacieux: tout ce qu'il faut pour bien se reposer après une journée sportive! bilan très positif donc, à conseiller!”

“Nous sommes un papy et une mamie qui sommes partis découvrir la montagne l'été avec nos deux petites filles et nous avons trouvé au CORBIER un appartement spacieux avec deux grands balcons et de chacun de ces balcons une vue superbe sur la montagne. Dans la station on prend soin de proposer beaucoup d'activités pour petits et grands... et si cette année nous n'avons pas gouté aux joies de la randonnée (météo et âge des petites) nous nous sommes promis de revenir ...”

“Nous avons passez un super séjour en famille avec notre fille. La station est très agréable car les remontées mécaniques et commerces sont accessibles à pied. l'appartement est très bien équipé, très bien situé donnant vue sur les pistes et la montagne. De plus la gentillesse et les indications du propriétaires vous permettrons de passer un agréable séjour au Corbier. Adresse et propriétaire que nous recommandons fortement!!!!”

“ I have a home in Naples, Florida, USA. Anne was my guest for a momth. She is a perfect guest. Kind, considerate and my home was perfect when she left. We have become friends and hope she comes back again. Mignonne Russell”
