Description
We are a professional couple ( engineer and teacher) who live permanently in the Mayenne department in Pays de la Loire, France. We have four adult children who live in three different countries!
Our home has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, large sitting room and dining room, kitchen with all mod cons. We have fast and reliable fiber internet to the house.
Our grounds cover 5 acres, so we have a lot of maintenance to do. Workaway helpers would need to be competent with gardening tools, be practical and capable, as well as enjoying physical work.
We also have a large donkey and a Shetland pony, so you should feel comfortable around animals.
Our house is in a small, pretty village which is just 4 kilometres (15 minutes on a bike, which you can use) from an historic town with plenty of shops and bars.
We would prefer couples.
