    Note we only host one person at a time,
    and no men over 30.

    Come and join my partner Rob and my 10y old son Phil, our cute Prague Ratter puppy Cooper, his pinscher girlfriend Litchi, and our two Ragdoll cats, and me (Marion, Mid-40s) in our home in the South of France. You’d need to help around the house and garden, and with pet & childcare. We speak German, English & French - however at home it's typically English. We live in Biot, close to Antibes, ie between Nice and Cannes. 4 bedroom house with garden and pool. You‘d have your modern room with mezzanine double bed and piano, adjacent to a modern shower room on the ground floor. We have our rooms upstairs.
