Description
Hello everybody,
UPDATE: this year we are building our own house and we can use lot's of help oiling the exterior wood, installing the rain sheet, jointing ancient walls and maintaining the veggie garden since I don’t have the time to do it.
My name is Anne, I live with my husband Frédéric and a little Beagle Jackie in the Alps. We are both Belgian and speak Dutch, French and English. I also know some Spanish and a little German. We live in Auris-en-Oisans, a small village (30 people), very quiet en peaceful with spectacular views, especially from our garden!
We run a chalet d'hôtes, our guests are cyclists and mountainbikers, hikers, skiers, ...
You can stay in one of the rooms of our chalet, you will have your own bathroom and can use the living room etc. We also share our own house. If there is no more place available in the chalet, we have a tent for you in our garden.
We're looking for people, preferably couples or friends, who are independent with a no-nonsense mentality. People who like living in nature and the mountains, who enjoy quiet places, freedom and sports and good food ;) It's good to have a car to be able to move around the area.
I’m looking for some happy people to work together, loads more fun then doing everything on my own!
Thanks!

Not only for the astonishing mountains, or for the wonderful peacefulness of nature, or for the slow and simple pace of life of people in these little alpine villages. Not only for that.
