    Description

    From workawayer to host : I’ve left my backpack to settle in a charming house in the western part of France (near Nantes / 15 min from the Puy du fou - theme park). Two others people have now joined this adventure : my husband Henri and our son Marcel.
    It’s time for me to share my Work Away experience hosting workers from others countries. And lets them discover our living area and help us with gardenning and cooking. So maybe one day, Marcel (3 months old) will become a workawayer as well !

    Workawayeuse devenue hôte : j’ai posé mon sac à dos dans une charmante maison type mas provençal en Vendée à quelques pas du Puy du fou. Cette aventure s’écrit désormais à trois avec mon conjoint Henri et notre fils Marcel. J’aimerais à mon tour partager l’expérience Work Away en accueillant des workeurs désireux de découvrir notre région et prêts à nous aider pour l’entretien de notre jardin et éventuellement cuisiner. Et ainsi donner à notre petit Marcel (3 mois) le goût de devenir un jour un workeur !

    Having had two experiences with Work Away (South Africa and Greece), I will be delighted to welcome workers from other backgrounds to discuss our travels and discover the culture of North West France. Being a teacher, I can also give some French lessons.

    Ayant eu deux expériences avec Work Away (Afrique du Sud et Grèce), je serai ravie d’accueillir à mon tour des workers d’autres horizons pour échanger sur nos voyages et faire découvrir la culture du Nord Ouest de la France.
    Étant enseignante, je peux aussi donner quelques leçons de français.

    New owners of a pretty big house (looking like a French south house while living in West!) with a sloping garden almost covered by vegetation, we will be glad to have some help for clearing this jungle ! You can also participate for cooking, if you have some skills or if you want to share your culinary culture.

    Nous venons d’acheter une grande maison avec un jardin en pente (un coteau le long de la Sèvre nantaise). Le jardin est composé de nombreux empierrements aujourd’hui recouverts par la végétation. Il s’agirait de nous aider à défricher une partie du jardin.
    Il est possible également de participer à la préparation des repas.
