Our house is an old farmhouse which has been renovated and extended. It is set in a pleasant bend of the river Seine, between the forest and the river, with their white cliffs and ships coming from all over the world. The garden is 2,5 acres, with plenty of trees and flowers. The house itself is situated off the road, and is very quiet. There are two stories, 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a study, a lounge-dining-room, and a TV room lounge upstairs.
We have had many exchanges in the past, which have all been sucessful and enriching.

The Neighborhood
Sahurs is a charming village of 1300 inhabitants near Rouen, the historic medieval town renowned for its connection with Joan of Arc, its glorious cathedral with 150m spire (once the tallest building in the world) painted by Monet, and its delicious cuisine (cider, tarte aux pommes. . . ).
In the village, there are some old houses, a manor-house with its little chapel, a baker, a café cum newsagent, a tobacconist, a post-office. There is also a stadium (well, a football pitch) with a tennis court. The forest and its teeming wildlife is close at hand, and we have bicycles for all interested.
It's also wonderful to stroll along the Seine, or take the ferry to go to the quaint "Impressionist" village of La Bouille on the South Bank.
We are 45 min away from the sea (Dieppe, Etretat), one hour and a quarter away from Paris, and the same from Honfleur, or the Normandy beaches. Our region is also full of well-known old abbey ruins (Boscherville, Jumièges, St Wandrille).

Other Information
If the exchange should take place with an overseas country, we would definitely consider exchanging cars. We have a 5 seater Volkswagen Touran with a large boot.
We have also two cats which would have to be looked after. But they're very easy to deal with.

The Dates
This summer we're going to India, between August 6 and 27. Any proposal there would be great! Our house is free three weeks.
Cet été nous partons pour l'Inde (entre le 6 et le 27 août) , mais nous n'avons pas encore de point de chute. N'hésitez pas à nous contacter si vous êtes intéressés par la Normandie!
The Destination
We're open to most European destinations. Destinations in the Americas or Oceania are unfortunately too expensive for us in terms of travel, regretfully.
We also are hoping that one day we may get to EXCHANGE JOBS in an English-speaking country. That might include North America (We have long lasting experience in teaching English and French; one of us has a Christian theology diploma)
The People
We are a close-knit family of English teachers (the two of us) and energetic 5 teenagers (well, our Joseph is only 11 but will become one), all interested in travelling and discovery; they don't all join us during house exchanges: it really depends on the destination. We have a taste for sports, reading, meeting friends, travelling and family pleasures; we love animals, nature, the simple life.
We enjoy house exchanges a lot, this feeling of discovering the life and culture of other people via an introduction to the intimate dimension of the home; for us it is each time an adventure.
