Chalencey

My husband and I booked a 2 week stay in Burgundy in April 2008 with two French host families. We booked a week with each primarily to practise/improve our French. In order to maximise our time in their company we arranged to have our meals with them. Our second week was spent in the home of Mimi & Pascal and turned out to be especially memorable. You will find it hard to find a couple more generous, warm and friendly than this family. They spent a lot of time in our company speaking in French slowly and patiently. There was much laughter and sharing of time together with them, their family and friends. We went looking for Muguet plants in the nearby woods, accompanied them to the local market and watched Pascal cook some truly delightful and typically French dishes. They also arranged a visit for us to a superb local vineyard with private museum. It is a week that we will not forget in a hurry. We would not hesitate to stay here again and can recommend it highly to those who want to enjoy a real French experience as well as the opportunity to improve your language skills.
