Are you a dog lover and always wanted to know how it is to live in South West France and want to learn how to ( better) speak French?
We are looking for an active independent person / Couple who wants to helps us out with walking our rescue dogs, cook, clean, veggie patch. We can definite help you to learn (better) to speak French or English
We are a Dutch family living in Condom in (sunny) Gascony in the South West of France.
We have 2 young children, one boy who is 15 years old and one girl of 13 we also have 8 dogs at the moment.
We work together with an association/ Charity who rescue dogs and when there is a dog in need they call us & we try to help and find them good homes in cooperation with several organisations in Europe, so the dogs are an important factor in our lives.
We are looking for an open minded, caring, energetic, independent handy couple (Couples/friends are particularly welcome) to help us run our daily hectic household which means, cooking, cleaning, walking the dogs, babysitting/entertaining the kids, washing and other DIY maintenance jobs.
In return for your help, we offer your own private accommodation.
A drivers license, valid in France, is essential as we are in a remote location and it will give you some freedom to explore.
You need to be able to drive a manual car.
As It takes some time to get to know all the dogs , for the kids to get to know you & for you to know your way around so that's why we prefer couples that can stay for minimum of 1 month.
Unfortenately we cannot accept any people who travel with their dog(s).
We run our a business in town so we are always busy & working.
We live in the remote countryside with no direct neighbours, all the wildlife in our garden and we have lovely views towards the Pyrenees.
The nearest town is Condom, 5 minutes. TGV & railway station is Agen and Bordeaux and Toulouse are both on 90 minutes.
Pyrenees mountains in 2 hours, Atlantic Coast on 2 hours, Mediterranean Coast 3 hours,Barcelona on 5 hours, San Sebastian (North Spain) on 3 hours.
We live very central if you want to explore France, the Pyrenees or Spain, there is a lot to see around here!
The people are friendly and the countryside is beautiful ....
We look forward to meeting you, showing you our beautiful area and let you experience how it is is to live in the rural French countryside.

In the house you will have your own bathroom and toilet as well. But of course you can use our house as much as you want. As the sun shines here a lot, we will be spending lots of time outside.

We are situated close to the Camino de Santiago, a couple of hours reach of the Atlantic coast, 3 hrs from the Mediterranean. We are ideally located if you are en route to/from Spain. Nearest TGV railway station: Agen ( 30 min) and Toulouse ( 90 min) ; nearest airport Toulouse. Please note that this is a very quiet rural area with little/no nightlife and limited public transport.
