Hello, we have acquired a large old house in the French countryside, near to Paris (1 hour) which we are going to renovate using old techniques in order to preserve the age of the house. We started since may 2023. We did a lot with the help of a lot of workaways !
We have already had 17 workaways coming from different country :-) We would like to finish the second part of the house before the may 2024 !
Renovations's work such as : do some sanding, painting, work in the garden, photography in equestrian centers, work with wood.
If you don't have experience, it doesn't matter, we learn :-) if you have one, that's a plus !
There is a lot of specialties of France next to us , like Champagne, cheese, castles ... :-)
See you soon ! :-)Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

I never thought I would be getting up at 3am to spend a full day doing Equestrian photography, but that was just one of many welcome surprises.
Both Greg and Manon are kind, patient, trusting,… read more
this was my first workaway and I had no idea really what to expect. Greg and Manon have set the bar super high - it was wonderful to feel instantly welcomed and trusted with helping on their house. I was with a group of 3 other workawayers and we all got on really well, enjoying time playing soccer in the garden with… read more

Neufchelles is a quiet town, literally only a church. The closest town is 45 minutes walk. Getting into Paris on your free days is a great option if you can figure out the trains! ;)
Greg and Manon foster a great family atmosphere. This one is best spent with other Workawayers. Sharing meals, swims in the canal and walks in the… read more
So during my three weeks at Manon's and Greg's we (the 4 workaway mousquetaires) built a terasse and started the garden.
We ate the meals together and talked a lot in French and English.
All in all Manon has the talent to make everything homey and pretty, Greg has… read more
