Another good holiday house swapping site is www.switchome.org The majority of properties are in France as it is french based so great if France is your choice of destination. What sets it apart from the others is that there are no charges for subscription etc so great if you want to test the water! We have been having fantastic cheap holidays(during school holidays too) for the past two years now thanks to them. House swapping provides much more flexibilty than more conventional holidays! Hope this is useful
