    Bonjour bonjour !
    J'ai 44 ans et une fille née en juillet 2022.
    Ça change la vie mais c'est si beau !
    Je prend du temps avec elle (garde alternée tous les 4-5 jours), mais il faut aussi s'occuper de la maison (quotidien et travaux d'aménagements que je détaille plus bas)
    4 poules

    Quelques voisins :
    - un couple de maraichers bio et leur épicerie de producteurs locaux
    - une productrice de fleurs pour bouquets, décorations
    - une ferme pédagogique
    Je suis donc agréablement entouré de bons légumes, de jolies couleurs et d'animaux!

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I enjoy showing people around our magnificent region, sharing our culinary tastes, our good humor, and discovering new live music in bars or festivals around us.
    I also like to travel, discover new cultures and receive and welcome “guests”.

    I like card games, board games, the sauna-caravan offered by a friend regularly near the river, play to "palet Breton " or "pétanque"...... and discover others.
    I have interest for History, Geography, Etymologie ans I collect stamps of entire world.

    I've traveled (France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Morocco, Austria, Belgium...), most often in a converted van but also in auto-stop or with local means of transport, and via Couchsurfing ou Home exchange .... !

    ============

    J'aime faire visiter notre magnifique région, partager mes goûts culinaires et goûter les vôtres, ma bonne humeur, aller découvrir de nouvelles musiques live dans les bars ou les festivals autour de chez moi.
    J'aime aussi voyager, découvrir de nouvelles cultures et recevoir, accueillir des "invités".

    J'aime les jeux de cartes, de société, le sauna-caravane proposé par un ami régulièrement au bord de la rivière, jouer au palet breton ou la pétanque .... et en découvrir d'autres.
    Je m'intéresse à l'Histoire, la Géographie, l’étymologie et je collectionne les timbres du monde entier.

    J'ai voyagé (France, Espagne, Italie, Suisse, Maroc, Autriche, Belgique...), le plus souvent en fourgon aménagé mais aussi en stop, ou avec les moyens de transports locaux, et via Couchsurfing ou Home exchange .... !

    Help

    I continue to completely renovate a house between Sarlat and Montignac, Périgord Noir, Dordogne department. Viable since end of 2020 but always something to do inside or outside ...

    I'm looking for help (cooking, cleaning, playing with my daughter, participating in household chores, small or large projects, chopping wood, etc.) to move forward with the work and arrange the spaces.
    At the moment it is the outdoor spaces that have my attention: creation of shelters for tinkering, storing (materials and firewood, etc.), insulation and cladding, weeding but there are also plenty of finishes inside (baseboards, a piece of parquet to redo, a wall to paint ... for example).

    I would like to finish my van (to go a few days, alone or with my daughter) and a gypsy caravan placed on the ground to accommodate people with more independence.

    I'm looking for one person or a couple of independent character: who is comfortable living in a community (shared meals, household chores ...) and independent in their free time.
    Of course I can propose and explain places to discover around, and sometimes discover with you new place, or play together, and sure to talk ....

    ============

    Je continu de rénover complètement une maison entre Sarlat et Montignac, Périgord Noir, département de la Dordogne. Habitable depuis fin 2020 mais toujours des travaux en cours, des envies supplémentaires, des finitions...

    Je cherche une aide (cuisine, ménage, jouer avec ma fille, participer à la vie de la maison, petits ou grands chantiers, couper du bois .... ) pour pouvoir avancer dans les travaux et aménager les espaces.
    En ce moment ce sont les espaces extérieurs qui ont mon attention: création d'abris pour bricoler, stocker (matériaux et bois de chauffage ...), isolation et bardage, désherbage, mais il y a aussi plein de finitions à l'intérieur en attente (plinthes, un bout de parquet à refaire, un mur à peindre ... par exemple).

    J'aimerai aussi finaliser l'aménagement de mon fourgon (pour pouvoir partir quelques jours seul ou avec ma fille) et celui d'une roulotte posée sur le terrain pour accueillir des personnes avec plus d'indépendance.

    Je recherche une personne seule ou un couple de caractère indépendant: qui est à l'aise dans la vie en communauté (repas partagé, taches ménagères...) et autonome dans ses temps libres.
    Bien sur je peux proposer des lieux de sorties, expliquer la région et parfois avoir envie de découvrir avec vous un lieu inédit, ou jouer ensemble, et bien sur discuter ....

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The Dordogne offers many historical sites (castles, prehistoric and natural caves) to visit, as well as many "nature" activities in the forest or on the water.
    I love picking mushrooms (I sell them to a restaurant owner; I spend almost a day a week on them when it's in season), swimming in the Vézère River, and watching the canoes go by!

    Several alternative places, in the agricultural field, around traditional construction... which regularly offer meetings or discovery and sharing activities.

    And even several Buddhist centers 10km from here.
    So despite its meat culinary specialties you will also easily find vegetarian menus and organic producers.

    The house is opposite a small village, in the heart of the countryside of Périgord Noir in Valley Vézère classified by Unesco, on the edge of the forest. 10 minutes by car from Montignac (library, cinema, bars, etc.)

    ----

    La Dordogne propose beaucoup de sites historiques (châteaux, grottes préhistoriques ou naturelles) à visiter, beaucoup d'activités de "nature" en forêt ou sur l'eau.
    J'aime ramasser les champignons ( j'en vend à 1 restaurateur; j'y consacre presque une journée par semaine quand c'est la saison), me baigner dans la Vézère et regarder passer les canoës !

    Plusieurs lieux alternatifs, dans le domaine agricole, autour de la construction traditionnelle... qui proposent régulièrement des rencontres ou activités de découverte et de partage.
    Et même plusieurs centres bouddhistes à 10kms d'ici.
    Donc malgré ses spécialités culinaires carnées vous trouverez aussi facilement des menus végétariens et des producteurs bio

    La maison est située face à un petit village, au cœur de la campagne du Périgord Noir en vallée Vézère classée Unesco, en lisière de forêt. A 10mn en voiture de Montignac (bibliothèque, cinéma, bars ...), 20 mn de Sarlat
