Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
We are member of Greenpeace.
Club de pétanque et de crocket.
Permis de pêche.
We receive travellers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
We have had amazing experiences in Greece, Turkey, Italy, the United States, and especially France. In fact, we surfed with the kids before they were even one year old!
Before Couchsurfing, we had been members of hospitalityclub.org for at least a decade. At home, we continued to welcome extraordinary people who allowed us to travel through their stories, but above all, to introduce travelers to our children.
We consider ourselves masters in the art of Couchsurfing.

Interests

We obviously love traveling and meeting new people. What's better than sharing a good meal with good stories and good bottles?
The ultimate happiness it's to swing in a warm lac during the summer or spend time with friends around a fire.
We enjoy playing ping pong at our kitchen table with guests or sharing a drink at our gigantic bar.
Fred has a burning passion for cooking meat on the coals.

We are a family that loves bringing people together. Every year, we organize a neighborhood festival with musical performances in the courtyard. Last year, we welcomed and fed nearly 500 festival-goers. Besides, music festivals are also another of our passions...
