Description
We live in a quiet village near a city 180 km or 111 miles away from Paris near VENDÔME in the Center Loire Valley Region.
We are a couple with 3 adults children (who don't live with us) and a dog. We have a several years hosting experience. (38 people from 15 countries last years).
We've moved and now we live in a house with a big backyard near VENDÔME, a nice city located 30 MN by car from BLOIS in the Centre Val de Loire Region. You can reach the city of Vendome in 25 mn by bike.
The village is really quiet. No shop. You can just walk around.
We need help mainly in the garden and in the house (gardening, DIY, cleaning, chores, cooking, ). We expect 4 volunteer hours per day, 5 days a week per person.
If you can cook, if you are handyman and have practical skills, if you like DIY, if you are organized... then come and enjoy the stay with us.
We don't provide long term stay, only up to 3 weeks.
To come to our house, you need to take a train from Paris Montparnasse (fast train TGV 45 mn) or from Paris Austerlitz (2 hs 1/2).
To contact us, please mention our dog's name Theia.
Due to many unfulfilled appointments, we will leave a 'no show' feedback if you do not show up for a call without warning.
Thank you.
