    Description

    We are a Swiss -French couple about sixty and a little bit more.... We are owners of our house which has a garden and a summer kitchen which allow us to live outside a large part of the year. We also have a holiday house which we rent weekly in summer and the rest of the year for long-lets to foreigners avid to discover the French culture (Canadian, American or other) But with us you will not work on the preparation of a holiday cottage except by being possibly paid, because it is about a real work which should be paid .We have bought a third house in the same small village, one of the smallest of the area, in the idea to make a community space for people who would pass by our home, a meeting place.
    we can receive people from beginning of May to end of September.

    Our way of life make that it's very difficult for us to receive people who have very strict diets requirements (vegans or vegetarians strictly)

    We have free rooms to accommodate a single person or a couple which in exchange would give a hand to us in the garden and in the cleaning or for something else,and most of the time you can choose what you want to do.
    We speak English, German, Dutch and Swiss German.

    There's always a lot of people coming from all over the world at home, speaking a lot of different languages , we love contacts and sharing.

    Nous sommes un couple dans la soixantaine et un peu plus,franco suisse.Nous sommes propriétaires de notre maison qui dispose d'un jardin et d'une cuisine d'été qui nous permettent de vivre dehors une bonne partie de l'année. Nous avons acheté une autre maison dans le même petit village, un des plus petits de l'Aude, dans l'idée d'en faire un espace communautaire pour les gens qui passeraient par chez nous, un lieu de rencontre.
    Nous nous proposons de recevoir des gens entre le mois de mai et la fin septembre.

    Notre mode de vie fait qu'il nous est très difficile de recevoir les personnes ayant des exigences alimentaires strictes (végétaliens ou végétariens très stricts)

    Nous disposons de chambres libres pour héberger une personne seule ou un couple qui en échange nous donnerait un coup de main au jardin et dans le nettoyage ou la rénovation de cette dernière maison ou tout autre chose.Nous ne vous ferons jamais faire un travail qui , prendrait la place d'un salarié....
    Nous parlons anglais , allemand , néerlandais et suisse allemand.
    Il y a toujours un tas de monde chez nous, qui parle différentes langues et qui vient de partout...Nous aimons avant tout le contact et le partage.
