dear all: just a quick note to say hello. We're an American family of 5, having enjoyed ca. 6 years in the UK, we're now planning our summer-time move to somewhere between Lausanne and Montreux. Schools & jobs sorted; next to find a house... I'll be browsing here a good bit!

A late welcome and best wishes for your search for a new home!

Welcome roadster! Don-'t know how old your kids are but there's an apartment where we live in Chexbres for rent with the de Rham agency (www.derham.ch). Wonderful location, view etc but it doesn't have a garden and wouldn't really suit a family with small children IMHO.
Having said which, an American family with 3 small children rents the mirror apartment in the same building.

Grantley, thanks for checking! The kids are 16, 10 and 10. I did take a quick look at deRham's website. The apt looks pretty OK, based on 185m2 and 6.5 rooms. However, I think we're looking to be closer in to Lausanne, as our jobs are there & in Orbe, and the kids are going to be in ISL.
Thanks!
