  Beschreibung

  my partner, September, and I have been renovating ruins in the South of France for 20 years. we always say the current one is the last however we have a 'current last one' that we are about to start and as we are both in our 60's, can use an extra set or 2 stronger hands:)
  
  if you enjoy bringing ruins back to life, want to see an organic renovation from the ground up, work with a great designer - my partner september, perhaps want to learn some French and more about our French mountain life, we welcome you
  
  we live in a small mountain village called Arfons, in the Tarn region, about 35 minutes from Carcassonne. it is quiet life personified in the middle of the national forests with great walks, mushroom picking, exploring the origins of the canal du midi, drinking water from the source and eating fresh market food
  
  we speak French, English, Spanish and can communicate in dutch and German if needed
  
  I am a doctor of chiropractic that has an integrated approach to natural healing for physical and emotional pain.
  
  Not much else to say. we are honest, open, loving and respectful humanists dedicated to the values humanist hold dear.
