Was ist das?

Informationen

Beschreibung
I am looking for enthusiastic, helpful people to stay with me in my large house in a village in SW France (named Tillac). I have 2 very friendly young dogs, one cat and a very large garden.
I also have young grand-children who visit me often.

Music is my passion and I organise regular music-concerts in the summer months which keeps me very busy. I need help in my garden with lawnmowing, weeding and general maintenance, and in the house with house work; maintenance and painting. The dogs also like to go for a walk around the scenic village.

Tillac is a small, quiet village but the local community is very friendly and there are opportunities to be part of life in a French village. Many of my friends also host workaway visitors so there is a good network of "workawayers" in Tillac and surrounding villages and there may be opportunities to get together with other workawayers for dinners, movie nights, bike rides etc. The area has regular food markets and other activities; Tillac has a small grocery shop, butcher and restaurant- all a 2 minute walk from the house.

Vom Workawayer (John) für Host

We really enjoyed our stay in late spring. We were warmly welcomed and felt at home from the start. Verena is an inspirational lady. Intellectually she is intelligent and cultured. She was also kind, considerate, generous and overly grateful for our help. We strongly agree with all the other positive reviews and look forward to revisit our special… read more

I stayed with Verena in March 2013, and it was a lovely experience. I worked in the garden, helped a bit in the kitchen, and enjoyed her beautiful home. I wanted to practice my French, and Verena was great, speaking to me, helping with my vocab and grammar. She also had a lot of French novels such that were great for practice. Her grandchildren… read more

Vom Workawayer (Marten) für Host

I spent a bit more than 3 weeks at Veranas place and should have opted for more than that - since I had a great time in Tillac. I can only confirm what others already wrote. Verena is a welcoming, open and generous host. I enjoyed the work in the beautiful Gascogne landscape, always got delicous and truly enough food and found in Verena and… read more

I had a nice time in Tillac with Verena! I will miss everything! I met a lot of other Workawayers from all over the world and we became friends! It was my first workaway-experience but I´m sure not the last one! So thank you very much Verena for all! Hope to see you and the others again!

Vom Workawayer (David & Philipp) für Host

I had such a good time at Verena's house. I really miss her cooking and her lovely grandchildren. It was definitely one of the best decisions to go to Tillac. I met so many interesting people and I took a little bit of the french"savoir vivre" home.

Vom Workawayer (Emily) für Host

Verena may be the most generous person I have ever met. In fact, I'm sure of it. You would be lucky to have her as a host! I feel like she did more for me than I did for her when I stayed with her for a couple weeks in the summer of 2010- my French improved greatly and she treated me like a long-lost family member, not a worker. Because she is so… read more

Garreth and Paula were very nice guests and hard workers. Garreth did an important work in my garden and Paula was very helpful in the house with painting and maintenance and also helping in the garden.

A generous, friendly hostess who makes everyone feel welcome. She provides delicious cusine, often fresh from the local markets or from her own garden. There is a sense of accomplishment and good will from working together in the garden and yard or on other tasks. And she is patient and helpful with students of French. She is also a… read more
