Picturesque friendly seaside resort
Overview
Female students only! The price is low because it is a sort of an "intergenerational solidarity lease" - in other words you would have to actively participate in helping with the day to day running of the place such as the daily chores, keeping your areas and general areas tidy and clean. If you are studying in Caen you would need a car - it is 25km away and the bus takes 50 minutes! This place would be perfect for you for a seasonal job here in Cabourg or nearby resorts such as Dives or Houlgate… I came here on holiday 20 years ago and fell in love with the place and stayed. I am a permanent tourist! Having studied architecture many years ago before retraining to become a teacher I couldn't help but admire the beautiful 'Belle époque' buildings. The beach here is golden and it is a fantastic place to come on holiday as well as learn French! I can teach you French or English (20€/h) and you will be immersed in the culture and have a good time. I used to be an interior designer and my flat is spacious, light, modern and warm. I love meeting people and teaching. You are welcome to come here and also to meet my french friends - there are lots of activities here! Cabourg is the 'little Brighton' of France - all the Parisians come here where they have a holiday home! Check out Cabourg on the net - you will see that it is not far from Deauville and is 2 hours from Paris. The bus is 111 Nomad - 45 mins to either Caen or Deauville. You can buy a ticket on the bus for 4€. (Have the right cash) The kitchen & fridge will be there for you … light cooking only please - there is a microwave - I would prefer you not to cook red meat as I can’t stand the smell and don’t eat it! I'm sorry if this inconveniences you. I hope you understand …. also no perfume as I‘m allergic to certain strong ones… I‘m very house proud so everything is clean and tidy - very zen! It would be nice to share meals with you as this creates a lovely ambiance and allows for conversation..... also as the price is low I would appreciate some help around the house as well as doing your own room and bathroom areas. You normally have your own big private bathroom with a shower (I have my own downstairs). I don't have my little dog anymore - I do have a cat though.... Please do not leave the window & your bedroom door open - think of the cat!!! Her name is Millie - she would certaintly try her acrobatic skills! You can watch the TV (probably Netflix) in the evening with me if you like….. The TV can also go on at lunchtime to see the news. Sometimes one of my adult children will be at home …. I would love you to come and experience this beautiful seaside resort! Louise
