jane shakey Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Hi to all "maison secondaire" or gite owners--- Does anyone have any experience of "swapping" a week in your house with a week in another house in a different departement of France? It occurred to me that there are many people out there, like us, who own a maison secondaire (that they may or may not rent out to giteurs), but who also might like the chance to visit another part of France without having to pay rent themselves!!! So how about a swap shop? Our gite sleeps 4/5 & is in Loire Valley (Dept 49 -Maine et Loire) approx 25 mins from Saumur, near lots of chateaux & vineyards--Chinon, Bourgueil, Saumur Champigny--all good stuff! We'd be very interested in a swap in June with someone in Languedoc region-- just big enough for the 2 of us! Is there anyone out there interested?? More details on request.

Frogslegs Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hi, we actually posted the same question three years ago and had a few replies albeit never did take up any offers due to our gite being booked. But we now have two and are still seriously interested in a swap! All areas considered. Take a look at our website www.le-tilleul.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mascamps.com Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Haven't actually done it myself but there are several sites that offer the chance to exchange placesfor gites: www.laymyhat.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=35for B&B, gites & hotels: www.innkeepers-exchange.com Both these are worldwide. In principle the second is very interesting as you could, for example, exchange a week in your gite in France for a week in a B&B in New Zealand. It also has writeups of how people got on.

Smiley Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 It sounds like a good idea. It would be something I may be interested in.[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
