Beschreibung
I live in the country about 8 k from the nearest village and 40 minutes from Rouen and have a huge garden, horses, dogs and cats. I would love some consistent dog and horse and cat sitters who would like to live in France and improve their French by being here . This is suitable for people who like the country and can drive. I need help in the garden and or basic repairs/ DIY like painting in the house and garden.

Normandy is a great place to visit. It s the birthplace of Impressionism. Paris is just an hour away by train and our local station has free parking. Rouen is a marvellous city as is Caen , Le Havre and then there is a wealth of delightful country towns, chateaux and markets to explore.

This is a good opportunity for someone who would like to live in France and have a truly French experience as the village is in the depths of the Normandy countryside. The nearest shop is 8klm.

I find it best to set up a list of mutually agreed tasks... Help in the garden and around the house and just basic common sense cleaning in a shared house situation. I am happy to cook if I am there as it is one of my hobbies.

Vom Workawayer (Garry) für Host

It was my first WorkAway stint and I was a bit apprehensive but
Eleri welcomed me into her home and made me feel like a family member.
I initially planned on staying 21/2 months but ended up staying for 5 months.
The horses, cats and dogs were no problem and I enjoyed my time there.
Highly recommend as a fantastic host (and the food was plentiful… read more

I loved my time with Eleri and Wendy so much that I extended my stay from 3 to 8 months and will without doubt be visiting again in the future.
It truly feels like a second home for me and all the jobs/work required are a pleasure and Eleri is very flexible based on your own skills and interests. I feel very involved in all aspects of life here… read more

Vom Workawayer (Miguel) für Host

When I moved from Italy to France, I had the intention to be familiar with another culture and learn a new language. I was looking for a calm place where to focus on a writing project too. The choise couldn’t have been better. I came for the summer and I felt so well here that I decided to come back again, after my workaway experience of one month… read more in Paris.

Elleri is a very generous and gentle woman, full of those little gestures that make life nicer for everybody around her. Here, the art of hospitality remains. This is an always wellcoming home, with colleages, family, friend and old-workawayers coming and going. She has had a wide life experience and she can say that she has really travelled around the world. Although she is from welsh origin, she speaks a perfect french, after so many years leaving in France. I was offered to do online classes in her accademy, combining my voluntary tasks with the learning of the language.

She has been very flexible with my timetable. It has been up to me to decide how to fullfil my duties. The task are easy. Keep the swimming-pool in good conditions, some orchard, some gardening and taking care of the animals. She has two dogs (gentleman Lucky and youthful Toby), 5 cats (grampa Ben, kitten Keddy, nice ladies Four and Five and the Moriarty of food robbery-clever schemer-evil genius-James Bond’s villain... Bill). She has three horses too. Caid, Isis and Lalo. Each of them with its own personality. I has been my first experience with horses, and a very interesting one. In fact, one of my best memories of this summer is going in the sunset to the upper meadow, whistle to call them and come back to the stables with the three horses trotting around me.

In the house lives also Elleri’s mother, Wendy. With her I have been able to practise my english. She is a very cultured and intelectually active person. We have talked about literature, history, her travels, her life experiences... A real bonus for my time here. We usually watch a Netflix’s documentary after lunch and we have much enjoyed our time together.

Elleri’s house is in the middle of the nature, surrounded by trees and meadows. There are many paths to walk around and now, in autumn, with the forests red yellow and green, is even more relaxing. It’s a perfect place for cycling (in the house there are two bycicles). Here I have fond the perfect place to focus on my writing project. There is a great library in the house and the section about traveling, is really amazing. I have never got bored. In this time I have been able to visit Rouen, Mount Saint-Michele, Evreux, Lisieux, Omagagh Beach, Honfleur, Deaville… I could even join the village trip to the forest to go for mushrooms and I went chez Brigitte, her neighbourgh and friend, to make cider with her. One of the things I have more liked about Elleri is her habit of not taking the direct path to places, strolling with the car around the norman countryside, visiting little villages and enjoying the landscape.

Perfect time the time in this home . Real focus , such a good use of time, meeting interesting people, listening to good stories, sightseeing… Perfect place to leave behind any stress. Every day we have dinner together (now, in the autumn with the fireplace on) and watch a film. Elleri is an excellent cook, with so many recipes that she has learnt in her journeys around the world. Always with a good glass of wine. Perfect end for the perfect days I have lived here.

Long comment... but this home deserves a long one. This has been one of my best experiences as a workawayer. I reccomend you to come, mainly is you want to go out of the rat race of everyday life, search yourself or focus on a project you’d love to pursue. I know I will be back, as many other long-term voluntaries do. I feel that after such a great time here, I am part of this home and this family.

I would highly recommend volunteering with the hostess, I stayed 3 months in this beautiful sight, in the lovely Normandy.
I not just made a lot of progress with my French level, as well as became a very good friend with Eleri. She has lovely dogs, cats and horses wich are great distractions and specially for those animal lovers.
I will always… read more

My experience with Eleri at her place was really good. Only when the time goes by you really realize how much you learned.
At the beginning I was expecting to do some work and then it changed because of the needs and my skills and we two were flexible and it worked good. She is someone that looks after you and that you can talk to and the French… read more
