Description
Hello, we are hoping to host a young person or two to help us in the garden,also a little painting, you can come for as long or little as you like. There is no heavy gardening just mowing,weeding and cutting of shrubs. It would also be nice if you like cooking, we could share this whilst chatting. We are a retired couple but quite active still. We moved here 8 years ago and have completely renovated our 18 century cottage,now we would like to relax a bit. We have a beautiful garden and a very comfortable home. You would have a twin bedded room and own bathroom. We are quite happy to host 2 students. There is a car for occasional use if you are a careful driver. We live near Pau in south west France which is a beautiful city. We are 1hour 30 mins.from the Pyrenees if you like winter sports,Biarritz is about the same if you like water sports.Pau has several cinemas and a wide music scene.Lourdes is about 1hour from us.
