Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a Dutch/British couple living in France for 20 years, we both speak French and have a good knowledge of this beautiful area of Languedoc/Roussillon (Occitanie). My husband is very skilled in building and happy to share his expertise. The property is in the countryside close to the village of Capestang and the Canal du Midi. We also operate a hotel barge on the canal so happy to show you this much loved part of our lives. We have 2 dogs and many chickens so animal lovers is a must.

Help
Hello, We have bought a house in the South of France which we take over in November 2019. There are lots of home improvements we require help with such as repainting the exterior of the house, building a fence around the property, and general painting and decorating. We would like a couple to help us from November until March if possible.

Accommodation
The property is very spacious with a large garden and a swimming pool. There is a main house with 5 double bedrooms and 2 Gîtes with 2 bedrooms each, private bathroom and kitchen. One of these will be offered for your use, so you have your own space. Lunches we will have together and dinner will be provided which you can eat with us or in your own Gîte, as you wish.
What else ...
We are based close to the mediterranean (30 minute drive), Narbonne, Carcassonne are very close and Spain is just 1.5 hour drive. We would be happy to provide a car for day trips.
While there are many projects on the house we also like to enjoy life, lunches out, long dog walks, socialising etc. We hope to find someone who can work 4-5 hours per day for 4/5 days per week.
