Description
**** LOOKING FOR: ****
We are specifically looking for people who can help us out with some bigger projects (fixing the inside arena, wood help, all garden related tasks ...) People who have experience aroung gardening are a plus !
We are happy to share our horse knoweldge, but please note that we don't offer any riding possibilities!
Important to know:
During winter months it get's very rainy and muddy on the farm. Reliable outdoor clothing, rainboots and some warm jumpers are your best friend during this period!
*****Do you want to experience life on a farm in Normandy? *****
You have come to the right place!
We very much appreciate all kinds of help and in general on our farm we are searching for:
- People who consider themself handy are always welcome
- People who don’t mind to get their hands dirty and help us with the general maintenance of our farm
- People who have a love for horses and like to help us out with taking care of our own horses
Who are we?
Welcome to our home! We are a French-Belgian family and together with our horses we live in an amazing very characteristic farm from the 17th century. Except the horses, our family consists of 2 inside cats, 6 outside cats, some chickens and our rooster. Important to know is that our main spoken language is English.
The nearest village (Le Molay-Littry) is just 5 km away from our place and it has it’s own trainstation. A trainride of 5 minutes will take you to the beautiful and historical city of Bayeux with various shops and restaurants and the very well known Tapestry of Hastings.
Only 20 km away from the farm there is the sea with it’s famous D-Day beaches. We have 2 bikes available for your use.
How to get here?
The closest big city is Caen which can easily be reached from Paris by bus (+- 3hours) or train (+- 2hours). From Caen you then hop onto a train to Le Molay-Littry and we will meet you at the trainstation.
Looking forward to meet and work with you!
All the best and happy travel!
