Neighborhood
About the neighborhood
We live in an area of outstanding beauty. Just north of us (5km) we have the Dutch polder landscape with wide views. You can walk and cycle along canals and creeks. The pleasant seaside town of Cadzand is within cycling distance (1,5 hours, 20 mins by car). Just south of us (5kms) is the provincial park of Drongengoed, an area with forests, and our favourite walking ground. If you love hustle and bustle, check out Knokke (20kms) with its beach, shops and grandeur. You won't want to miss visiting Bruges or Ghent if you love art, history and good food.
By the way, our home town of Maldegem has a few popular restaurants that are excellent, yet don't break the bank (and there is a Mc Donalds). The pub at the corner of our street serves many fine Belgian beers in a cheerful ambiance. Places to visit in our town are the Canadian war cemetary and Canada museum. Our part of the world was liberated by the Canadian and Polish troops at the end of WWII. Also worth a visit is the Steam train museum and the town park. Euroshop is a large store that literally sells everything and attracts droves of people. On the edge of town, within walking distance, all major supermarkets and plenty of other stores can be found.
Nous vivons dans un endroit priviligié. Au bout de notre rue (3km), il y a la frontière hollandaise avec son paysage de polders vaste et beau. Nous aimons nous promener autour des plans d'eau et sur les digues. Il y a la station balnéaire de Cadzand à distance cyclable (1,5 h ou 20 min en voiture). Au sud, à 5km, il y a le parc provinvial de Drongengoed, réserve naturelle où nous faisons de longues promenades. Pour une ambiance mondaine, rendez-vous à Knokke avec ses belles villas, magasins et gens BCBG. Ne manquez pas de visiter les villes d'art flamandes comme Bruges (20min), Gand (30min) et Anvers (50min).
Notre ville offre quelques très bons restaurants, mais également des friteries, salons de thé et même un McDonald. Goûtez les fameuses bières dans le café au coin de notre rue. Visitez le cimetière canadien, le musée canadien et le musée du train à vapeur. Derrière notre maison, il y a un beau parc et à l'entrée de la ville, il y a tous les grands magasins.

Looking for exchanges in Italy, Northern Spain in May, June, September, but open to any offers.
We are a retired couple in our early 70s. We've had a few very rewarding exchanges with people from Canada, the US, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and France. Our three children and eight grandchildren like to visit and enjoy mum's cooking and baking. Dad still works part-time as a language trainer for expats and business people. Our house is well-kept, and we promise to look after your belongings with the same care.
Nous sommes un couple de retraités dans la soixante-dizaine. Nous avons eu des échanges très agréables avec des gens au Canada, aux Etats-Unis, en Espagne en France, en Suède et en Suisse. N'hésitez pas de nous contacter pour des échanges de quelques jours, jusqu'à deux semaines.
