Descripción
Hello! My name is Louisa, I am an estate agent in Aurignac. My husband John, who is English and retired , and I live in the south west of France in the Haute Garonne between Toulouse and Tarbes near the Pyrenees and Spain. We moved into an old stone farmhouse at the end of 2014 in a beautiful unspoilt location with stunning views over the Pyrenees. The house is finished in terms of renovation. However, there is still the outside area and a small part of the barn to finish. At the moment we are building a carport and have finished a room dedicated to yoga and meditation.
In the garden we need to finish the pond, the surrounding area, the small greenhouse and the vegetable garden. We planted fruit trees in February 2016 and created rectangles for vegetables.
If you want to know the basics of permaculture and how to restore a house you are in the right place for that.
We cater for all cuisines but we particularly like Asian and French food.
I would describe myself more as a person with a fairly broad vision ...on the path (if any) to Self ... John is more pragmatic. We are open-minded and want to welcome people with whom we can share and receive them as members of our family for a real exchange.
We are the easy-going type and we hope you are too!
We look forward to meeting you.
Bonjour! Je m'appelle Louisa, je suis agent immobilier à Aurignac. Avec mon mari John qui est anglais à la retraite , nous vivons dans le sud Ouest de la France en Haute Garonne entre Toulouse et Tarbes près des Pyrénées et de l'Espagne. Nous avons emménagé fin 2014 dans une ancienne ferme en pierres dans un superbe endroit préservé avec une vue imprenable sur la chaîne des Pyrénées. La maison est finie au niveau rénovation Il reste cependant les abords extérieurset une toute petite partie de la grange à terminer. En ce moment nous sommes entrain de construire un abri voiture et avons fini une piece dédiée au yoga et la meditation.
Au niveau jardin il nous faut finir la mare, aménager ses abords et terminer la petite serre et entretenir le jardin potager. Nous avons planté des arbres fruitiers en février 2016 et créé des rectangles pour les légumes.
Si vous voulez connaître les bases de la permaculture et comment restaurer une maison vous êtes au bon endroit pour cela.
Nous nous adaptons à toutes les cuisines mais nous aimons particulièrement la cuisine asiatique et française.
Je me qualifierai plutôt comme une personne avec une vision assez large ...sur le chemin (s'il en a un) du Soi ... John est plus pragmatique. Nous avons l'esprit ouvert et nous voulons accueillir des personnes avec lesquels nous pouvons partager et les recevoir comme des membres de notre famille pour un réel échange.
Nous sommes du genre faciles à vivre et nous espérons que vous l’êtes aussi !
Au plaisir de vous rencontrer.

Louisa and John are wonderful people who love to work hard and have fun!
Staying with them was very comfortable as we had a lovely space to chill out after work. We had a nice bedroom and bathroom and a lounge area. It's really nice to have a good space to relax after work.

They allowed us to cook some delicious meals, which we shared many great conversations. The weather was pleasant and the view of the mountains was peaceful. We went… read more

Merci à Coco et Terry pour leur plein de fraîcheur et d'enthousiasme qu'ils nous ont apportés. Ce fut a vrai plaisir d'avoir partagé un moment ensemble.

C'est avec une grand… read more

Louisa et John nous ont chaleureusement accueilli pour notre première expérience workaway pendant 3 semaines. John cuisine très bien (soupes, plats indiens, crumble...) et Louisa prépare des jus de légumes pour éliminer les toxines de notre organisme et nourrir nos cellules :) Nous n'avions pas aussi bien manger depuis assez longtemps alors un… read more

Jon & Louisa were my first workaway hosts. I stayed with them for 6 amazing weeks. My main job was repointing a stone wall with mortar made with local sand, and a few other things like helping with the renovations of the upstairs bedrooms and helping with dinner. They made me feel completely at home and I enjoyed the work.

After working hours we used to spend the time on enjoying the view, watching TV and talks together. John made very tasty dinners and Louise prepared tasty herbal… read more

Teresa and Rafael stayed only a week but what a week!
Upon their arrival they began to work! : Digging the ground under a barn and establishing foundations for the elevation of a wall. The time ran out and they could build only a few rows of blocks. The work was however very accurate and of high quality. We have shared some great moments around… read more

Tom was our very first workawayer. Lots of useful jobs were accomplished during the 6 weeks with his help and he just became one of the family. He worked hard doing any job asked and was always cheerful and chatty. Tom is quick to learn and he was willing to work a long day when it was necessary (eg doing some pointing on a wall stone). Highly… read more

I spent a wonderful six weeks with John and Louisa in their new home. We worked hard, but we had a lot of fun together. We went to fêtes and vide-greniers in nearby towns to meet friends, go out to eat, see fireworks, etc. I learned how to do various types of work, and I improved my French as well. We accomplished a lot in the short time that I… read more
