  Descrição

  We are looking for 1 or 2 workawayers (friends or a couple) for winding down the season in September with some cleaning of accommodations, garden maintenance and for some building/maintenance projects in October/Novvember.
  --
  We are a campsite in the beautiful mountainous region of the Cevennes in southern France.
  
  A little about us:
  George is Scottish and Virginie is French. We lived in London for over 25 years and decided to leave London 18 years ago to settle in the middle of a wild lanscape running the campsite. It's a family business: George and myself (in our 50s), our 3 children (24-18yrs) altough they are not living on site at present. We are a bilingual family, speaking fluent French and English.
  
  About the site:
  We are in a very isolated situation at 900m alt, 3kms from nearest village and 40 mins from nearest town of Millau (Aveyron, department 12). There is no public transport so having your own transport is ESSENTIAL (please do not reply if you don't have transport) to be able to enjoy and discover our beautiful region.
  We are in a semi-moutaineous area (900m alt) so bring adequate clothing as it can get cold especially at night.
  
  The high season is July and August but we also welcome workawayers during the Spring, Autumn and Winter, when there is mainly maintenance and building projects.
  
  Our campsite is a nature destination. We rent accommodations and we have piches for tents, vans etc. We are a small campsite (75 pitches, a snack in summer, reception, pool) but on a very large and spread-out site. It's practically wild camping.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  The Workawayer will learn about the touristic business which has many facets (many different jobs and skills), which is varied and hard work but very enjoyable: you are working in a beautiful environment and dealing with people who are on holiday!
  
  Workawayers will learn and discover rural France, a preserved natural landscape in the national park of the Cévennes. If you like the outdoors, there is much to do here. We are 1h30 from Montpellier and the Mediterranean, 2hrs from Nîmes, 3hrs from Clermont Ferrand and we will be happy to advise you where to go, what to do and what to see.

  Ajuda

  Autumn / Winter 2025:
  
  the season winds down in the Autumn, so it's the time for cleaning the accommodations and common parts as we close them, after the summer. Maintenance and cleaning of the garden and outside spaces.
  
  Some building or maintenance projects, so being confortable and experienced in DIY is a definite plus and even necessary :) to get the most out of the experience.
  
  We work as a team so we are involved in all parts of the work.
  
  You need to have your own motorised transport.
  
  The hours worked are paid (minimum wage with a contract). For reasons of contracts and work permits we can ONLY take EU citizens.

  Algo mais...

  If you like nature and outdoor activities, calm and tranqulity you will love our site! There are many things to do from hiking, cycling, mountain biking, canooing, climbing, parapente, star gazing, via ferratta, potholling. We are isolated so you need to be HAPPY on your OWN, especially if you come alone.
  The city of Montpellier is 1h30 mins. Millau is a very pleasant town and is 40 mins away. Millau is the nearest town but the local villages have shops, restaurants and a weekly market so you don't need to go too far to fill the fridge!
