Description
[Workaway note: please contact this host in French]
Hello,
My name is Marie
Recently retired, I live on the site of the farm that my son took over recently (goat cheese making, breeding)
I live on the island of Belle Ile at sea, where live 5000 inhabitants in winter and more than 40 000 tourists in summer.
The island is accessible by boat 14 km from the mainland, the house is near the village Keroulep 800 m from the beach and the village accessible on foot or by bike.
The house is big and the garden too!
With health problems, I have difficulties to maintain all this space and I look for arms for maintenance (renovation from time to time) for the house, the kitchen garden, the whole garden ..
It can also happen that we come to the farm, according to their needs and our program.
Whatever the weather, I like being outdoors, always active, I hope we can laugh and have a great time together!
Married
Bonjour,
Je m’appelle Marie
A la retraite depuis peu, je vis sur le site de la ferme que mon fils a repris récemment (fabrication de fromage de chèvre, élevage)
.Je vis sur l'ile de Belle ile en mer, ou vivent 5000 habitants l'hiver et plus de 40 000 touristes l'été.
L'ile est accessible par bateau à 14 km du continent, la maison est près du village de Keroulep à 800 m de la plage et du bourg accessible a pied ou en vélo.
La maison est grande et le jardin également !
Avec des problèmes de santé, j'ai des difficultés pour l'entretien de tout cet espace et je recherche des bras pour l'entretien (rénovation de temps à autre) pour la maison, le potager, l'ensemble du jardin ..
Il peut également arriver que l'on vienne en aide à la ferme, en fonction de leur besoin et de notre programme.
Quelque soit le temps, j'aime être dehors, toujours active, j'espère que nous pourrons rigoler et passer de très bons moments ensemble !

I stayed there for over 5 months, that speaks for itself. The work is well defined and afternoons are free, the food is excellent and it is easy to choose between private time or social evenings. In winter I had two rooms for me and during summertime I stayed in a caravan. The area around Maries House is amazing big… read more
En plus de ça, Belle-île est le parfait endroit pour randonner et en prendre plein la vue niveau paysages!

I can strongly recommend to all workawayers to stay with this kind family at one of the most lovely places on earth - you´ll love the island!
merci beaucoup pour le manifique trois semaines avec ta famille et les gentilles chèvres.
I loved staying with your family and on this beautiful island. I learned so much about making cheese and animal care and besides that, I had the chance to learn alot about myself, too.
Merci encore une fois. Je voudrais revenir un jour… read more
Marie and her family are one of a kind, very welcoming and always happy. Their farm is the coolest farm ever and the meals are fantastic, it's like a "fête" every day. I got to take part in everything from milking the goats to making cheese (and then eat it of course ;) and I have learned so much. The… read more
