We are a familly of Salles sur mer, a village near La Rochelle, located in Charente-Maritime, on the Atlantique Coast, half-way between Bordeaux and Nantes. Our older son is not travelling with us anymore, we are 4 travellers by now.

The beach of Chatelaillon, a pleasant sea-side resort is 2 km far. We are 12 km far from the famous La Rochelle harbour. 
There are shops within 5 minutes walk. The bike path passes by our house. We provide our bikes, you will be at the beach or at the restaurant in 10 minutes.It is also close to the bus stop or train station to La Rochelle.

Our house has a living room , a fully equipped kitchen, a playroom for children, an ensuite bedroom for parents ,three bedrooms for children, a guestroom for 3/4 people, two bathrooms and a study . It's perfect for 8 but with extra beds it can welcome up to 10 people. We can provide everything needed for babies.

We have a garden where I grow vegetables. Of course, we ask the family we'll swap our house with to enjoy fruits and vegetables from it. No extra work from it : there is an automatic watering system. If there are too much vegetables for you, or if you don't want them, friends living nearby can come and collect them.
We also have a courtyard behind the house with an inground heated swimming pool ( 7x3 m) where children can also practice bike, roller ... and parents relax!

We can exhange a 7 seats-car , Grand Citroen C4 Picasso ( 2012 ).

We already had great pleasure exchanging our house and car with families from France, Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden and Iceland. We would be more than happy to discover your place!

We are near the islands of Ré, Oléron, Aix and Fort Boyard.
At 1 h drive there are the Marais Poitevin, the Palmyre Zoo.
At 1 h 30 drive, there are Puy du Fou, Futuroscope, Bordeaux, Nantes.
Center of Paris is a little less than 3h by TGV ( high speed ) train.
