Description
Nous sommes un couple à la soixantaine passée, François et Laurence, vivons à la campagne dans une grande maison entourée de champs, de prairies et de bois. Nous cultivons quelques légumes herbes et fruits bio. François fait de la céramique et de la sculpture en terre.
Nous avons besoin d'aide surtout au jardin, et un peu au ménage.
En échange, nous aidons l'hôte à apprendre le français et François propose une initiation à la céramique.
Nous partageons aussi à chaque repas les fruits et légumes bio cueillis dans le jardin.
L'hôte est logé dans une grande chambre de 25m2 environ, (on y dort merveilleusement grâce au silence exceptionnel, on y est réveillé par le chant des oiseaux). La chambre bénéficie d'un petit cabinet de toilettes et WC séparé au premier étage. Il peut également utiliser une salle de bain privative.
La maison est située à 30km de Le Mans, grande ville la plus proche et à 18km de La Flèche dans la vallée du Loir.
We are a couple in their late sixties, François and Laurence, living in the countryside in a large house surrounded by fields, meadows and woods. We grow some organic vegetables and fruits. François made ceramics and sculpture in earth.
We need help especially in the garden, and a little to the household.
In exchange, we help the host to learn French and François offers an introduction to ceramics.
We also share with each meal the organic fruits and vegetables gathered in the garden.
The host is housed in a large room of about 25m2, (it sleeps wonderfully thanks to the exceptional silence, it is awakened by the song of the birds). The room has a small toilet and separate WC on the first floor. It can also use a private bathroom.
The house is located 30km from Le Mans, the nearest big city and 18km from La Flèche in the Loir valley.

My work was almost gardening. Cutting wood, weeds...
When my condition was bad, they worried to me, like my pearents. They're very kind.
If I have a chance to go back again, I wanna go and meet them!!!
Thank you François and Laurence
