Hello!

We live in the south shore of Québec city (top 10 destinations worldwide - Conde Nast Traveller), in Canada.

We live in an ancestral renovated canadian house (built circa 1845), with the St-Lawrence River across the street. We are located 10 minutes from the ferry that brings you in the heart of old Québec city (Québec city has celebrated its 400th anniversary last year). You can either take the Pont de Québec (bridge) and be in the city center in 20 minutes. When you walk in the old town, it is like having a taste of Europe. Architecture is very beautiful. Québec City has plenty of very good restaurants (highest number per capita in Canada), and a lot of cultural and musical activity is going on everywhere in town, especially during summer. During winter, ski resorts are 30 to 45 minutes away, including the Mont-Ste-Anne and Stoneham.

Our house has no neighbors in the backyard, we have a huge deck (40 ft by 25 ft), a swimming pool and a fire pit. It has 4 bed! rooms, 1 1/2 bathroom, and we can accomodate 6 people (1 king size bed, 1 double bed and 2 twin beds, the 4th room accomodates our baby Nellie). The house has 3 floors, 3 bedrooms upstairs and one in the basement. It also have a waterjet bath. It has about 30 x 40 ft.

We are a family of 5 (Marc-André 36, Rachel 36, Charlotte 5, Mariane 3 and Nellie 6 months). We would be travelling with our friends, so we need accomodation for around 8 people.

Summer 2009 : We are interested in exchanging our house for 1 week, somewhere between August 2nd and 15th, in Maine, somewhere between Kittery and Portland. We are looking for vacations at the beach, were all members of the family can have fun! But we don't mind driving 15 minutes to get to the beach.

Summer 2010 : open to any location, especially in Europe (France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, ...).

If you are interested, we would be very pleased to send you pictures of our home and family!
