    Description

    Hi, our family owns a large french house close to a little town called Fauillet. The south west region of France is well known for some hearty red wines and typical french countryside.

    We have recently had the house beautifully redecorated and now just need a couple of hands to help cut the grass and clean the house.

    All suggestions welcomed.

    June to July

    Help

    The help required on the house goes from painting/decorating to plumbing, fence building and general home improvements such as wall painting, tiling and decorating. There is a further job required of cleaning, gardening and potentially pool cleaning in the summer season. We are about to start some intensive work on the house ( May ) and are very interested in having people down especially from May onwards.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    During the time off there will be plenty of time to relax by the pool with plenty of space available to have personal peace and quite and enjoy some quality r and r. On days off if you want to venture further a field we are located a short cycle from the canal. In most situations there will be someone on the premises able to lend lifts via car and it is only a short way to some major train links. Train links from Marmande ( a local town ) to Bordeaux in less than an hour. Depending on the season the house will be filled with numbers from 1 or 2 all the way to 20 people. The summer months are a massive social experience something any volunteer would be encouraged to get involved with. However, in the off season it will be a little quieter which gives us a good opportunity to shape up the house in preparation for next summer. Minimum stay 2 weeks as our projects are mostly on the large scale..!
