  Description

  We have a gites business in the summer months, so July and August are not available. The rest of the year family and friends visit which makes for quite a party atmosphere and our workaways would always be included if they would like. We are very sociable and enjoy hosting parties for our friends and neighbours normally conducted in Franglais. We have a large outdoor area with swimming pool and space for some outdoor sports. The gites will not be open while the workers are here and they will not be asked to do any maintenance on them.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We live in a small close knit community and our neighbours are frequent visitors. Conversations are normally a mixture of French, English and Portuguese. My husband is a skilled carpenter and prepare d to offer tips on various woodworking projects. We were both HGV drivers and then instructors for many years, so there is no shortage of anecdotes. The sea is about 10 miles away and there is direct cycle route. Surfing is a very popular activity in this area.
