  Beschreibung

  Welcome to our manor farm founded in 1200 by the Templars. This fortress reminds you that we are all passing through and that it is important to slow down sometimes to better enjoy the present moment. A place of resource, of transformation, of meeting. A place of good living also, where one can exchange around a wood fire with an organic or medieval meal on the knees. Family place for almost 30 years, we would like to share our place with open-minded, friendly and pragmatic people.
  Christine who is the owner of the place manages a stud farm of about thirty horses. With approximately 30 hectares of land and 450 square meters of living space, Christine is looking for people who can help us with maintaining/renovating the land and the house. We will not ask workawayers to help with the horses!!! In addition, we have an outdoor swimming pool, a stable, 2 sand pits and an authentic 17th century barn that can be used as a home cinema or a place to relax.
  At the moment we need hands to help with cutting, collecting and sorting the wood and building skills in order to renovate some rooms.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Living in a region full of culture, you can enjoy the forest of Broceliande which is full of stories, myths, fairy tales about King Arthur and Merlin the magician. If you prefer the city, Rennes (220,000 inhabitants) is located 40 minutes from our place, you can reach it by bus or train. It is a student city, very dynamic with a friendly atmosphere.
  Concerning the family, Christine and her son Jaap are the main inhabitants of the house. There is also Gregoire, a childhood friend who lives part-time with us. You will also meet Clementine who is an employee of the stud farm. We are a great team and we will be really happy to welcome you here with us.

  Unterkunft

  For eating it is a good idea to all eat together between monday and friday at lunch so we can learn to know each other. We think that in the evening and in the week-end, each should eat in his own "home" so that everyone can have his own private moments:) We will provide ingredients in both cases !
  Concerning your accommodation, there is a lot of options because there is more then 6 bedrooms possible ! It will depend on the occupation of the house at the time you contact us :) Best way to decide is to call us so we can find a place that fits your needs.

  I think that the best case for you to come to us will be to have your driving license. We can sometimes borrow you a car if you have a valid driving licence. We also would like to ask you an assurance that covers if you fall ill or would hurt yourself seriously. ( In France that is called "accidents de la vie") We live in a small village where the first supermarket is at 10 minutes in car. We live in a small village with all it's charms but also more isolated. There is a train station at 12 km and from there you can take the train (15 minutes) to Rennes which is a big student city. Although being in a small village in the country side has a charm, being not capable to move anywhere is less enjoying. But that depends also a lot of your personality!
