  Description

  Hi everyone,
  
  We bought a charming old Provençal villa in the South of France about a year back. It's got loads of character and a great location, but it could definitely use some love. Since my partner is off for work most of the summer, I'm looking for people to come stay with me at the villa.
  
  We love our area, the Provence country side has a lot to offer, and we like to share the all the secrets of the region.
  
  We are very laid back, and like to have people from different culture around so that we can share different experiences!
  
  Whether you're a green-thumbed gardener, a DIY plasterer, a mason whiz, or just love hanging out with furry friends, we could use your skills. The house is pretty spacious, and the garden is even bigger, so there's plenty to explore and keep busy with. We are especially hoping to fix the pool and bathrooms this summer so any related skills would be awesome.
  
  A little about me: I'm a French Canadian who made the move to the South of France five years ago. Before diving into yacht brokerage, I spent years travelling around the world and working in restaurants and on yachts. Summers are hectic for me, with work taking up most of my time. But I've got two adorable pets – a 3-month-old Malamute-wolf pup named Sierra and a cat named Kiwi.
  
  If you're up for great laid back atmosphere, an adventure and don't mind lending a hand, we'd love to have you over! :)
  
  Cheers,
  Lindsay and Adrien
