  Beschreibung

  Hi, we are Ernest and Mireille (Europeans with a Dutch passport). Eighteen years ago we moved to Sweden, seven years later to the United Kingdom and finally last year we settled in Normandy, France in a beautiful old notary's house from 1791. Mireille's mother (81 years old) lives with us in her own flat on the ground floor. Our small animal kingdom consists of two Jack Russells, a cat, chickens and running ducks. We have started a food forest in the field behind our large garden. Our house is a place for family and friends and friends of friends who want to take a break. We live on the edge of a small village with all the necessary amenities. Ernest is a great chef and his international dishes are a daily treat.
  Our two grown-up daughters who live in England and Scotland and Ernest's Mum (82 years old) are frequent visitors. We are lucky to have the space to accommodate multiple guests at the same time.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Our native language is Dutch. We are fluent in English and also speak Swedish, some Italian, Spanish and German and, of course some French. We both work from home. Ernest in finance at a large international company and Mireille as an online language teacher. Language and culture has been at the centre of our lives for eighteen years and we think you will find us open-minded people who would like to include you in our little piece of paradise in France.

  Arbeit

  The house needs a lot of love and in the coming months we plan to sand and paint the shutters on the front of the house. We also want to repaint the metal fencing and gates. We would like some help with this. Helping out in the food forest and cooking a few times a week would also be greatly appreciated.
  You will only be helping us with maintenance of our house and garden.

  Unterkunft

  We offer you your own bedroom and bathroom and of course all meals are included in your stay with us. Ernest is a great chef but would like to have a couple of evenings off to cook. So if you could prepare meals as well that would be great. We eat healthy food, cooked from scratch. We also offer you free WIFI.
