    Description

    Hello, I am Chantal, I am 62 years old, I live with Jeannot (my husband) in the Vendée, in the countryside 6 km from the sea.
    My 3 children come home regularly. We have just bought a large (old) house with a garden.
    Jeannot needs help to build a low breeze block wall, to build a wooden lean-to to store equipment, to move a pile of wood, to prepare a vegetable garden and various gardening jobs...
    We have a swimming pool and you can also use a bike to go to the beach (15mn).

    I play the diatonic accordion, if you are a musician too, it will be an opportunity to share a good evening!

    The house is open to many friends and friends of our children (Bruno 34, Laura 32 and Lucie 28).

    We have had quite a few workaways and often for a period of 15 days, we can leave on this basis and if you are available for longer and feel comfortable at home, there will be a way to extend.

    A separate room is waiting for you!
    For these handling jobs, a boy would be welcome or a sporty girl!

    Bonjour, je suis Chantal j'ai 62ans, j'habite avec Jeannot (mon mari )en Vendée, à la campagne à 6 km de la mer.
    Mes 3 enfants reviennent régulièrement à la maison. Nous venons d'acheter une grande maison (ancienne) avec un jardin.
    Jeannot a besoin d aide pour monter un muret en parpaings, construire un appentis en bois pour ranger du matériel, déplacer un tas de bois, préparer un potager et divers travaux de jardinage...
    Nous avons une piscine et tu pourras en profiter utiliser aussi un vélo pour aller à la plage (15mn) .

    Je joue de l’accordéon diatonique, si tu es musicien aussi, ce sera l'occasion de partager une bonne soirée!

    La maison est ouverte à beaucoup d'amis et d'amis de nos enfants (Bruno 34 ans, Laura 32 ans et Lucie 28 ans).

    Nous avons eu pas mal de workaways et souvent pour une période de 15 jours, on peut partir sur cette base et si tu es disponible plus longtemps et que tu te sens bien à la maison , il y aura moyen de prolonger .

    Une chambre indépendante t'attend !
    Pour ces travaux de manutention, un garçon serait le bienvenu ou une fille sportive !
