host trainees during winter time.

N.B. : Trainees placed in horticulture
do not usually live with their host employers. These host farmers generally
have a few employees and are not ready to share their family life with
a trainee. Before their arrival in France, the coordinator of SESAME and
the host farmer will look for an independant accomodation nearby.
