There are opportunities to save all or part of the housing budget for the holidays. For example, home exchange and participatory vacations.
The real good plan when you have a house or an apartment of your own is house swapping. The principle is as simple as it is effective: you go to someone’s house without paying, and someone comes to your house without paying either. And it’s not necessarily about going to whoever comes to you, there are often virtual currency systems on specialized platforms. In this case you cross out the accommodation expense which weighs about 50% of the holiday budget, you will just have to pay the registration fees. Several websites are to be discovered, go there there is still time: Homexchange
, Intervac
or SwitchHome
.
A home barter system that does not only work in France
No it’s global. There would be some 250,000 homes available on the market in a hundred countries…I found Séverine’s house in Montpellier with a beautiful swimming pool, but also a beautiful house in Hungary in Sopron at the foot of the Alps, or even a small manor house near Nantes…you just have to not be afraid of ghosts…it’s a bit impressive all the same!
Participatory worksites
It’s original, go work a little on a historic site, in an isolated place, on the farm, learn of course and in exchange you are housed and fed at a lower cost.
I am thinking, for example, of a trip to a cooperative village in the Ardèche organized in August this summer by l’association Aliore
. For a family of 4, you will pay around 1000 euros per week all inclusive (accommodation, food and all activities). It’s not cheap, but we’re on a controlled budget, a useful week and a very nice program: vegetable garden, cooking, picking, art workshops, animal care…
Here are two avenues, the exchange of houses or participatory holidaysit’s off the beaten track, but it can also spice up this summer without affecting your budget too much.
