Beschreibung
We are a family of 5 with 3 daughters age 8, 11 and 13. We live in a very beautiful and wild area in the Couserans in the Ariege. Our house is a the end of a small road with beautiful views over mountains. We currently have a small gite next to our house and are in the process of finishing renovating a barn to also rent out to tourists. I am a photographer and organise photo workshops /trekking for young people in schools and local organisations. John occasionally gives trainings on intercultural communication in other parts of France and abroad. We have lived and travelled abroad and are used to meeting people from other cultures and all walks of life. We like meeting new people and getting to know them, and so do our children who are used to engage with guests staying in our gite.

Arbeit
We'd welcome help in our day to day living as at the moment we have too much on our hand. Volunteer work could involve:
Helping with the finishing of the barn, starting/ looking after the vegetable garden, occasional baysitting, sharing the cooking and housework, doing some local school run, generally helping out. It doesn't have to be eveything mentioned above.
If you're English speaking, then it will also be good for the children to practice their english although they already are fluent.

Unterkunft
If the gite (self catering accommodation) next to our house is not rented out, you could stay in it. It is very confortable. Otherwise we could provide you with a room in our house, or if you preferred we also have a big tent

Our house is about 10min. drive from the local village, 20 minutes drive from the nearest village of Seix that has shops, cafés etc..., 30 mins. drive from St Girons, our local town.

The time I spent with John, Sandrine, and their three daughters was simply wonderful. If you’re lucky enough to workaway here you can expect to have a great time. The location is rural, so certain activities can be limited in some respects, but that hardly matters. Each day I was captivated by the sheer beauty of cloud capped mountains and more
