Informationen
Beschreibung
I am a Dutch woman of 73 years (painter and documentary filmmaker before) and moved to France after my retirement to an old farmers house on the countryside in the middle of France.
I have a lot of energy and I like to be busy with creative projects, both in the house and in the garden. I changed the interior and exterior areas and I made a studio, where I spend a lot of time painting.
I have a grown-up son and daughter. They live respectively in Sweden and the Netherlands.
I speak Dutch, Swedish (lived 7 years in Sweden), English and French and understand Danish (lived 3 years in Denmark) and Norwegian.
I only ever offer initially up to a two weeks stay with the possible option of extending the time if both host and helpers are happy with each other.Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

It is an inspiring place for creative people (there is space to draw, paint, make sculpture, to write and to make music) and for people who likes nature (who wants to cycle, walk).
I gave drawing lessons and did some sculpture so probably I can give creative people some advice in drawing or sculpture.
I am also interested in all kind of ecological projects so if there are people who like to experiment with eco-projects I hopefully can offer space to do so.Arbeit

Depending on the time and number of persons I can offer three bedrooms and an own bathroom. It is in a separate part of the house, so there is enough privacy.

It is located in the triangle of Châteauroux, La Châtre and Argenton. It is not too far from Paris (two hours by train). There is possibility to visit cinema's, concerts and theatre within 30 km.

She did a lot of good work in the garden and made delicious meals. We had among others a tapa evening which she all organized and we had enough to invite my neighbors. I was a guest in my own house and learned how to make tapas.
It could not have been better. Thank you Andrea!
