Beschreibung

We are Sundara and David, a retired but still very active Scottish couple. Our only home is a large mansionhouse ('maison de maître') overlooking the Canal du Midi in the Languedoc region. It is used for various purposes and occasional voice workshops and recitals. We have a large Mediterranean garden and a 12.5 m pool.

Arbeit

We would expect an input of 20-25 hours a week, ranging from painting to gardening, cleaning (including the pool), and sharing the cooking. You do need to be practical, but computing skills are not needed. We would like you to stay for a week initially, with longer stays by arrangement.

gesprochene Sprachen

English, French

Unterkunft

We will give you a large double bedroom, all meals and wine, and access to broadband (ADSL). Two mountain bikes and two grand pianos are available.

Was noch ...

We generally prefer couples, as we live in a small village with limited entertainment. Your work will range from painting to gardening, cleaning (including the pool), and sharing the cooking. You do need to be practical, but computing skills are not needed.

Nous voudrions surtout accueillir des couples français, afin que nous puissions améliorer notre français, en même temps que vous travailleriez votre anglais chez nous. À bientôt !

Dear Sundara & David,

we love you! Ne le dites pas à nos parents, but having stayed ten days at your chateau we started wishing for you to adopt us! It is extraordinary how the castle is filled with charm and trust, good music and stunning moments, surrounded by the breathtaking landscape. The two of you are amazing. We will not forget eating cheese and drinking wine with you, talking about Schumann, the newest developments in geophysics or the legacy of Edith Piaf. Not to mention the recital you have organized! Those ten days gave us an impression of paradise – and the intensity of emotions and thoughts incomparable with any other holiday.

Much love,
Kristina & Rich

Sundara and David were the best hosts Ive ever had! (and Ive been doing this kind of traveling for 4yrs!!)
They really were so generous, wonderful, energetic and funny! So many good times were shared (dont challenge Sundara to a game of table tennis though, she has a killer serve!!)
I appreciate being welcomed so warmly into their home, eating the most amazing food, being shown about in our space time - I just felt so comfortable being there!
I certainly wouldnt hestiate to come again (if they will have me!)
What an unforgettable experience, thank you so much!

As our first hosts we were unsure of what to expect, but WOW!!! David and Sundara were phenomenal hosts that really opened their home to us. The fantastic food, wine and conversation was enjoyed thoroughly and we could not have asked for better hosts. David and Sundara really showed us a little bit of the French life and we felt right at home in their beautiful house. It was a great workaway experience and we wish them all the best for the future.

Kayle and Rashika were truly two wonder girls. Always willing to help in whatever was the need of the moment.

They were generous with their time and often noticed the things that required attention.

We all had alot of fun together (in spite of the age differences), and we could recommend them to anyone.
