Descripción
A family with a community life-style in SW France ( Dordogne ), 2 minutes walk away from the beautiful river Dronne, one of the cleanest rivers in France. The people who are at the property on a permanent basis are Erick and his soon to be wife Sandrine. Erick's 2 daughters live in Bordeaux so they're rarely here but come and go during holidays. We've got cats and dogs, but we're preparing to get a few more animals; namely ducks and maybe eventually a pig.

Basically, we need a lot of help volunteering in the organic garden and the greenhouse, we also share the daily chores (especially when there are a lot of us!), however there is always a lot of different stuff that needs doing depending on the season: collecting and chopping wood, restoring buildings, making fences etc.
Erick and his siblings are French so you will definitely have the opportunity to improve your french!

Alojamiento
A stone house for the family with one little emergency bedroom (currently being renovated).
A dormitory with two double bedrooms and a single one. We also have a dry toilet and we use water from the well on the property.
We bake fresh bread in the outdoor clay oven.
We also have a a lot of books in our library with a variety of books including french, english, german and spanish novels.
Once the main house is completely refurbished there will be a grand piano and pianists are welcome.
Sandrine is a healer and a Reiki master, she likes to share her passions and skills.
Algo más...
One of the main things we want to focus on in 2019 is restoring some of the buildings and stuctures on the property as well as potentialy building a few more, so anyone with experience or even just enthousiasme in this area will be especially welcome.
For the time being we cannot accomodate families and we accept max 2 volunteers at the same time. Spring and summer are always very busy and a lot of people pop by (mostly former volunteers/friends).
