Description
Hello!
My name is Lea, I live with my son Solal (6 years old), our dog Ziggy and our 2 cats.
We live in Lorignac, in the countryside, in a very small village in Charente Maritime, close to the Gironde estuary between Bordeaux and La Rochelle. We are 5 minutes from a small port, Port Maubert, 25 minutes from the sea, 1 hour from Bordeaux and La Rochelle and 3 hours from Paris. You can go sailing on the estuary or surfing on the ocean, hiking or cultural tourism, because we live in the Haute Saintonge region, with a rich architectural heritage.
We live in an old wine estate built in the 19th century: a very large house with a very large garden and a very large swimming pool.
In September or October, I'll need help repainting a room in the house and tending the garden.
Je would like to welcome a dynamic, mature and autonomous person. We speak French and English.
Bonjour!
Je m'appelle Lea, je vis avec mon fils Solal (6 ans), notre chien Ziggy et nos 2 chats.
Nous habitons à Lorignac, en pleine campagne, dans un tout petit village en Charente Maritime, proche de l'estuaire de la Gironde entre Bordeaux et la Rochelle. Nous sommes à 5 mn d'un petit port, Port Maubert, à 25 minutes de la mer, à 1 heure de Bordeaux et de la Rochelle et 3 heures de Paris. Vous pouvez faire de la voile sur l'estuaire ou du surf sur l'océan, des randonnées ou du tourisme culturel, car nous habitons dans la région de Haute Saintonge, au riche patrimoine architectural.
Nous vivons dans un ancien domaine viticole construit au 19ème siècle: une très grande maison avec un très grand jardin et une très grande piscine.
En septembre ou octobre, j'aurai besoin d'aide pour repeindre une pièce de la maison et s'occuper du jardin.
Je souhaiterais accueillir une personne dynamique, mature et autonome. Nous parlons français et anglais.Types of help and learning opportunities

We can eat together in the evening, but during the day, I have a tight schedule and usually eat on the run at lunchtime. But no obligations, we do what we like, we eat when we want, alone or together. We like to have a good time from time to time around a fire, a drink or an aperitif dinner.

Nous pouvons manger ensemble le soir, mais dans la journée, j'ai un planning serré et mange le plus souvent sur le pouce le midi.
Mais pas d'obligations, on fait ce qu'il nous plaît, on mange a l'heure qu'on veut, seul ou ensemble.
On aime passer du bon temps de temps en temps autour d'un feu, d'un verre ou d'un apéro dînatoire.A little more information
