Beschreibung
I am a retired older woman living by the sea. I have been an active person with many friends, having lived in the area for over 40 years. I have enjoyed having workaways to stay for many years. I am looking for a mature couple, non smokers, and fully vaccinated, to live on the property for the minimum of 2 months. Please do not apply if you are under 25

Travellers will be able to enjoy living in the South of France near the beach in the village of Cavaliere. Interaction with local people will be in shops and possibly at boules. Depending on the season you will be able to enjoy walks, and swimming and visit French markets. Two bicycles are available for your use. The old railway line has been converted to paths for walking, jogging and cycling. Life is quieter in the winter season and much busier in the summer but if you like nature there is always something to see or do.
Arbeit
The volunteering involves some shopping in the local town, preparation of some meals and clearing up, light gardening duties and watering plants and driving me to the village cafe or to a bench by the beach - I do need some help with the evening meal preparation but not every meal. I have someone who comes in to help me in the mornings. It would be preferable and welcome but not essential for the volunteer to have own car but a driving licence is important and must be able to drive a manual car. Do not apply unless you can drive a manual car!. French is essential. am English so you will need to speak good English.
I may need help with various other things like sometimes I may need advice about my computer (but not often) and If you like playing scrabble that will be a bonus! I play a lot of scrabble online. I have become friends with many workaways who have stayed here in the past.
You can enjoy all the pleasures offered by being close to the beach with cycling, walking and exploring one of the most beautiful parts of France.Gesprochene Sprachen
