Help in Normandy
Country: France
Last Activity: 13/01/2012
Description
We are a Franco-british family of 6 living in a small village surrounded by beautiful normandy countryside.
We are easy going. Our village is one hour from Paris, one hour from the Atlantic coast. Your own transport would be a bonus as there is no real public transport.
Currently looking for someone, ideally two friends to stay for about a week and help with maintenance and gardening. Would involve heavy work, mostly outside.

Had a wonderful time with Sharon, Eric, and their beautiful family. Just the right mix of supervision and independence in working on projects with/for the family. Great accommodation in small cottage near the house; lots of privacy and just enough space to call my own for a few weeks. The family was incredibly generous--always serving delicious more

Sean and Michelle originally came for a week and everything went so well they stayed for nearly 3! I can't say enough good things about them. They smile, they are friendly and outgoing, really easy to get along with and very hard working.
Whatever I asked them to do they were happy. Here they essentially gardened (alot!) and painted (alot!) more

We had the most wonderful experiance in Normandy with Sharon and her family. The accomodation was first class, our own cottage! We were given just the right amount of instruction and free time. It was a relaxed and easy going atmosphere and we shared many wonderful meals with the family. Our work included gardening, painting and looking after the more
Ausra stayed with us for a few days in spring 2010. She gardened non-stop and did a beautiful job.
She was very friendly and she left our guest cottage perfectly clean and tidy.
I certainly recommend this workawayer.
