Europe / France Local Host

I am originally from Holland but have fallen in love with France and now consider it my second home. I love exploring this beautiful country and sharing my favourite things to do and see with my HV guests. From the bustling city of Paris to the lush meadows and farms in Provence, this is a country with endless opportunities to make lasting memories. Whether you're looking to indulge in local delicacies or looking for an active holiday canoeing the Dordogne river or cycling some of the Tour De France routes, France has something for everyone. I look forward to hosting you in my second home!

You'll pass many small villages along the way and have the opportunity to see amazing sights you can't see from land. Pack a picnic and enjoy the day.

Not only is the wine delicious, but the wineries are lush and beautiful. Also, a major part of French culture is to pair food with wines, so you'll likely be able to enjoy some local delicacies while you're there!
