  Beschreibung

  We reside in a quaint village nestled amidst majestic mountains with ruins of an age-old castle. Our location is near the Spanish border, offering access to prime mountain passes, often graced by the Tour de France as it was this year 2024. This idyllic setting also harbours exceptional hiking trails, a climbing centre situated within the former Roman marble quarry; river, just across the road, and a nearby lake offer opportunities for thrilling activities like canyoning and kayaking nearby. For convenience, the village features essential amenities, including major shops, a post office, and a pharmacy.

  Familiarity with preparing delectable vegetarian dishes is necessary. We will take turns in meal preparation and cleanup, including routine cleaning of communal spaces.
  
  N.B. We strive to be environmentally friendly in any way we can, this includes following directions from the local authorities to compost all that is compostable, sort refuse into categories, and not waste water and energy wherever possible, this still allows us to have a daily hot showers, harvest solar energy and rainwater, and extract heat from air.
  
  We enjoy the company of others and love welcoming visitors. Initially, we invite helpers to stay for two weeks, but we're happy to extend the stay by mutual agreement.

  We love to find joy in everything we do, whether we're in the house or out in the garden as well as exploring the enchanting surroundings, whether by car, bicycle, or on foot. There are frequent buses passing through from Spain to further into France.
  
  There will also be plenty of quiet and relaxing time to enjoy.

We need assistance with tasks such as stripping down old wallpaper, sanding down old paint on walls and woodwork, cleaning and repainting, and similar. Weeding, pruning trees, making paths. We are looking for help from two strong and healthy individuals to assist with a house redecorating project. This requires physical strength and stamina, and a good can-do attitude.

  Cyclists will find our area particularly appealing, as it is frequented by the Tour de France, featuring ideal routes for biking enthusiasts. Hikers, too, have the opportunity to explore renowned trails such as the GR10.
  
  Please be aware that we adhere to a vegetarian diet, and all the meals we will be preparing together (three meals a day) are vegetarian, not vegan. We might be able to offer bicycles for your use, and regular buses connect to various destinations in France and Spain. If needed, we are more than happy to arrange your pickup from the nearest train station.
  
  We will share duties such as cooking, cleaning after meals, keeping clean common areas, and collecting spring water (for drinking and cooking only as we do have mains water for washing, showers, etc.). These tasks do not form part of the 5 hrs daily exchange as they are tasks for hosts and helpers daily sustenance.
  
  The two free days do not necessarily fall at weekend as they follow the five days of exchange, which, in turns, start a day after your arrival here.
