I spent a fantastic week with Eliane and her family. I enjoyed meeting her partner Benjamin who picked me up at the airport, their adorable 5 month old baby Elena who I think is the best natured baby I’ve ever met – she almost never cries – and their very cute dog Okami. I am thinking of joining them next year again when they will have moved to the south of France.
Every day we started off at breakfast with our conversation. Eliane is very easy going and we seemed to find a lot of things to talk about. I learned a lot of new vocabulary about all different sorts of topics. The emphasis on conversation was just what I needed. Eliane is also a great cook and I really enjoyed the meals she prepared.
One day we went to the Baie de Somme and did a 4 hour hike with a very knowledgeable guide. I was also able to visit the lovely towns of Amiens and Compiegne. I walked around Roye in my free time. Eliane and Benjamin have a lovely back yard/garden where I sometimes spent time reading. The bungalow was also very nice.
Eliane – Merci beaucoup pour une très bonne semaine!
