Personnes intéressantes, gardées en contact quelques années après. Maison luxueuse. Je recommande, Merci, Fabrice JOUETTE
The holiday home in Dinard is accurately described on the intervac site. Our home was perfect when we returned from the exchange. We made good friends with the family and our daughter did a successful youth exchange with a member of the French family.
The family were a pleasure to exchange with and communication was good throughout. The apartment is accurately described on the Intervac site,spacious, large balcony,centrally located and walking distance to the beach.
Spacious centrally located apartment, walking distance to beach.Accurately described on Intervac site. Our home was clean and tidy on return home.The family were a pleasure to exchange with.
