We zijn twee ondernemende en creatieve mensen - Karin is actief beeldend kunstenaar en docent, en ik ben een ex-journalist, auteur en trainer/coach die dit jaar gaat stoppen met (betaald) werk. We hebben twee geweldige kinderen die na hun studie op eigen benen staan. Nu zijn we toen aan nieuwe uitdagingen: reizen, samen op pad, landen ontdekken, nieuwe dingen doen.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
From the spacious apartment on the first floor of the building on the Digue de Mer you have a 100 % view over the wide beach and the blue/green sea. Welcome to the French Opal Coast!
Downstairs you are directly on the pedestrian Boulevard, and six meters away from the beach and the blue sea. In the high season the wide beaches attract families, watersport lovers and tourists, but outside of July and August it gets really quiet. The beach and protected dune reservations on both sides of the costal town invite you to long walks, a bike ride or a sporting activity, such as windsurfing, supping, flying a kite, or you decide to just stay in and watch the beachlife, sea and spectacular sunsets from your own balcony.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Bray-Dunes is a small but lively coastal community with plenty of restaurants, shops, two big supermarkets, bakeries, a public swimming pool, two medical clinics, etc. Lively and friendly during summer months, and quiet and calm during the rest of the year, but still part of a small town community. The beachfront boulevard (pedestrians only) ends on both sides of town in two protected dune reserves: great walking areas of more than 600 hectares in total.
An ideal place for an active sea holiday, all kinds of watersports, like swimming, windsurfing, hiking, biking, windsailing on the beach, or making trips to the city of Dunkirk, choose from 3 golf courses in the area within 20 minutes drive, or discover the nearby Flamish medieval towns of Veurne, Diksmuide, research the remaining German WW2 bunkers, go to themepark Plopsaland in De Panne (only 5 km's away), etc. etc.
