Chateau in Frankreich, helfe renovieren
Beschreibung
We are Michael - English, Ruve - NZer who enjoy the French style of life. We retired early to manage the renovation of our 16th century chateau & although it's finished we would like a couple to help us with general maintenance, house cleaning and lots of gardening.
We are situated in the Tarn & Garonne (Dept 82), approx. 100 kms north of Toulouse, 8 kms north of Caylus and 21 kms south of Villefranche de Rouergue. Parisot is a medieval hilltop village with a commune of 900 people. There are 2 bakers, a village shop, and a pharmacy. There is a small market every Friday morning.
Life is very quiet and therefore Parisot will only appeal to couples with a car or those wanting a very rural situation - there is no public transport!

Unterkunft
A self contained flat in the grounds of the chateau - all mod cons - towels, bed linen, hob, oven, washing machine and dishwasher, etc. We either shop together for food or give you an allowance so that you can self-cater although we have occasional meals with you for cultural exchange. There is a double bed so the flat would suit a couple.

A big thank you to Vicky and Stuart for all their hard work, sense of humor and great company. Nothing was too much trouble to them and they often went the extra mile in finishing whatever task they had started. They undertook a wide range of work from sanding shutters, building garden walls, general household cleaning to washing and polishing more
This was our first workaway experience and many thanks to Ruve and Michael for making it such an enjoyable time. They are fabulous hosts. We enjoyed the variety of work - it was great to be able to work at a genuine chateau and we got great satisfaction in completing some work for them. The food and accommodation were superb.

I had an amazing time in the Midi-Pyrénées. Michael and Ruve are kind and generous people, and easy to get along with. Food and accommodation is excellent. Parisot is a beautiful little village, with some nice hiking trails around it. It is a good idea to have some means of transportation, as there are no busses from there and so many more
