It’s also close to the river, and being surrounded by mountains, offers stunning views of the majestic Alps. This is an altogether wonderful French location to holiday!

The house is 10 minutes walk from the town centre with all the commodities: a small supermarket, bakery, fruits & vegetables store, organic store, butcher shop, book shop, Italian food store, music store. And 10 minutes walk from a great Italian coffee shop, nice restaurant in a local castle, bar & restaurant with terrace, Tacos place & pizza shop. On Friday nights, there is a burger food truck literally across the street!
They have a small enclosed private garden with a selection of games for the children including scooters , balls, a darts game and a big paddling pool.
The family attend Eglise Grenoble Est. This is a young evangelical church fellowship and very friendly. House swappers are sure to receive a great welcome, as well as help with the services which are all in French!

Established in 2003, 'Christian House and Church Swap’ (CHACS) is a UK based house-swap holiday organisation.
There are registered members throughout the UK, Europe and further afield. House-swapping works well for everyone; single people, married couples, friends and families. Instead of paying a substantial amount of money for holiday accommodation, and then leaving your house empty, you can simply swap homes with other Christians!
It's a different and exciting way to holiday!
COST.... There is no charge for registration or membership. Only if/when a house-swap takes place do we ask you to pay an administration fee of £50. For second and subsequent swaps in the same year, the admin fee is £25.
Registration forms available on chacs website.
USING YOUR HOME....Your house, however humble or grand, will provide a great holiday base for someone else.Your locality, so familiar to you, has lots to offer to someone new to the area.
SECURITY...There is a rise in house burglary when occupants are away from home. By house swapping you have automatic Christian house sitters! When people register with us, we contact their church leader. This is for everyone’s peace of mind.
LOCAL COMMUNITY... Another great feature is that you will holiday in a local community. A local person, friend or neighbour, will have agreed to give you the key, check that you are okay and to deal with any queries. That person will also be able to give you up-to-date information about nearby amenities, local events, places to visit, best pubs, good restaurants and so on.
PETS AND PLANTS… House swappers are usually happy to water the garden and indoor plants, and feed the cat and goldfish! Mutual dog owners are generally happy for the dogs to be included in the swap.
IT’S YOUR CHOICE!...You get to choose from the descriptions of over 200 properties, mostly in the UK, but abroad too, all found in the online brochure. You pay the administration fee only when your house swap is confirmed. And you might want to swap once or several times a year, or only once every 2 or 3 years. There is never any pressure on you to make a specific choice. The choice is yours!
