Informationen
Beschreibung
We are a Dutch couple (53 and 56), living in France since 2020 with our 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 pigs, 2 horses and 3 donkeys. In 2020 we bought this amazing property that is a couple of hundred years old. It is a beautiful setting, surrounded by hills and pine trees with great views from the terraces. The wildlife is vast with great opportunities to see birds of prey. It is very peaceful with great walks right from the door.
We are in the Beaujolais vert, 70 km northwest of Lyon. The train that will take you into Lyon is 15 minutes away, the nice town of Roanne is 30 minutes by car. Famous and less famous wine areas are close, such as the Bourgogne, Côte du Rhône, Beaujolais and Côte Roannaisse.
There are many renovation projects in the house, but also the garden and surrounding area can use a little TLC. We do the majority of work ourselves and can use a helping hand. So if you would like to experience countrylife in a French chateau, and willing to work with us on very diverse projects please stay with us.Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
We speak Dutch, German and English, all of which you could practice while with us. We speak conversational French but welcome French speaking people to improve our French.
You can improve your DIY skills, or learn new ones. You can learn about outdoor working and landscaping. You can discover the local culture, including the Beaujolais wines, and can join us when we go treasure hunting at the local brocante markets.Arbeit
We like to work with our hands and do most of the renovation work ourselves; Richard is mainly the DIY indoor guy, and Marloes is in charge of the outdoor work. We welcome any help as it is much nicer to work together.
The current indoor projects are very diverse and include plastering walls, sanding beams, painting, creating bathrooms and kitchens, interior design.
Outdoor projects could involve repointing old traditional stone walls (mur en pierre) with traditional lime mortar, fencing, chopping trees, gardening.
It would be great if you have some experience in DIY or gardening, if not... a positive mindset and willingness to learn new skills is also good enough!Sprachen
