Beschreibung
Colin, ex stockbroker, Amanda (half French) language teacher and entrepreneur, moved back to the Gers to an old farmhouse near Jegun almost 10 years ago. End of track situation amongst rolling hills. 3.5 hectares. 2 dogs, 2 cats, chickens, 3 horses - Arab,Lippizaner horse and 'BugBug' the Shetland
I work remotely teaching and also run a recruitment business.
We live in the main house and the other end of the long farmhouse is an independent 3 bedroom 2 bathroom holiday home. Need help with small decorating jobs in house, outside lots of clearing of scrub etc and some chainsawing. Plus tidying up huge old barns. It's a peaceful situation with fabulous views of Pyrenees (1.5 hours away) . We have a swimming pool that's open May-Oct. . Experienced horse riders are welcome,we have a sand manege and fab rides up in the hills.

Unterkunft
Out of season I offer our luxury holiday accommodation next to our house where there are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. We love having couples who are self contained and who enjoy our place. I give money for food, the system works well. It's also better for our Workaways to have their own transport since we are quite a walk to Jegun.
Was noch ...
Auch 17 mins by car buses available in Jegun (7 mins away by car) . Toulouse is 1 hour by car, trains from Auch. We can take volunteers to bus stop/train station. Jegun is a friendly village with a bar ( is also an irish pub!), restaurant, Casino supermarket. Vic Fezensac is 15 minutes by car.
Ideal for country lovers, but for weekends lots of culture & city life in Auch & Toulouse if wanted. Beautiful for walking/cycling. Local chateaux etc for culture vultures. Little local concerts most weekends in villages.
We are very friendly, but equally respect that volunteers (and us) need 'me-time'. We are used to receiving foreign students for language courses and exchanging cultural ideas/cooking etc

ist was a fantastic two weeks stay at your Vinery.
You gave us really interesting and varied tasks and problems we could solve on our own.
Even if it was hard or really time consuming work it was beautiful to see what our work changed and how happy you are with it.

We are absolutely thrilled with everything they did for us. The first job was a very heavily weeded big flower bed which took ages, then masses of horse manure, it hasn't looked so… read more

The many tasks in the house and garden were very varied and easy to do. Amanda and Colin left the organisation and planning of the tasks to us. This allowed us to organise our weekends very flexibly. A trip to the… read more
