  Beschreibung

  2025 Programme :
  
  **** We are looking for help to smarten up our garden, tidy and clean our house and create a summer camp for yourselves to enjoy.
  We are also looking for :
  Computer programmers, ( to complete a simple webshop we have created). Involves uploading photo's and prices.
  Builders who have experience in building breeze block walls.
  People with experience in building wooden constructions such as huts for accommodation and pavillions.
  Gardening experts to create a veggie garden.
  
  Careful planning is essential for both workawayers and hosts, so when you write to us with your start date please commit yourself to that date and to us as hosts. If you decide after one week you would like to leave that is fine with us. We have 3 accommodations available for reservation on a first come-first serve basis. Hopefully we will manage to fill the accommodations, so you will be part of a team of 3 people !
  Because of the intense heat here in summer we ask for an early start when it is nice and cool . This means being up at 7:00..(time for a quick tea/coffee) and then working from 7:30, with a breakfast break at 9:30, before continuing.
  
  About us, the hosts...and our location.
  We are two open minded mature guys, (66 and 74).
  The Verdon National Park is one hours drive away. The spectacular Gorge itself is further away. There is so much to see and do there, (including many different sport activities) so we suggest you allow 4 - 5 days after your workaway stay and head out there to experience this stunning landscape.
  Closer to home, just 12 km away is the lovely Gorge du Pennafort, (see photo's shown on our profile).
  We describe ourselves as intelligent, outgoing and down to earth.
  We do not have a problem regarding race/skin colour or sexual orientation.
  
  We ask for 30 minutes help per day, with general housework, (boring I know, but it's necessary). This includes sweeping and washing the floor/ cleaning the bathroom, toilette and similar daily tasks. This 30 minutes housework is part of your 4.5 hours work.
  
  We ask for 4.5 hours help per day/ 5 days per week in exchange for your own private accommodation, (in the caravan, little stone cube hut or wooden chalet...see photo's) plus meals and moderate amounts of alcoholic drinks, (please read the later paragraph relating to alcohol). After completing your 5 days you have 2 free days to relax and explore.
  
  You are responsible for preparing your meals and doing the washing up. Please note : As you are only working 4.5 hours per day, (most hosts ask for 5 or 5.5 hours) the time for preparing meals and washing up is not part of the 4 .5 hours duties.
  
  We provide you with clean towels, bed-linen and have a large variety of work-clothes for you to wear + shower gel and shampoo...so you can travel light !
  We do not provide mosquito repellent spray or sun protection so make sure you bring it with you !
  
  Internet access is limited, (through our airbox). Please ensure you have plenty of mobile data !!!
  
  We do not tolerate heavy consumption of alcohol ! This has been such an enormous problem : alcoholism and abuse of our generosity in providing it - so we now only provide moderate amounts.
  
  To join us you need to find your way to Les Arcs/Draguignan railway station or the town of Le Muy. We will collect you from there.
  
  We are easy going, but...if you are any of the following you will definitely not fit in here :
  
  * Overly religious. * If you have a problem with mosquitos and bugs, or rodents, (all provence houses in the countryside have them and they even come into the kitchen area and shit too !...it's nature and you have to deal with it...)
  * If you are reliant on alcohol.
  * If you have a problem with food that is approaching or has reached its use-by date. We are eco-friendly and green and hate the wastage of food within the food/supermarket industry, so we always buy food that is close to its use-by date.
  
  Please note : Our garden is one hectare, (comparable in size to Trafalger Square). Currently we have a lot of building materials stored in an area around the entrance of the garden. It does look very messy, but it is only a tiny corner of the garden. We ask for 1 hour a day help to transport the materials to a more discreet/ hidden part of the garden. This hour is part of your 4.5 duties and the rest of the time you will have more rewarding and pleasurable tasks.
  
  
  
  It's your responsibility to have full medical travel insurance.
  
  
  We hope to welcome you soon !
  
  Jurgen and David.
