The hamlet where I live is situated in the Regional Nature Park Périgord-Limosin, known for its beautiful and varied nature and rolling landscape, with magnificent vieuws of corn- and sunflower fields variegated by woods and flowery valleys. In this region the climate is pleasant, with usually mild springs, warm summers, a delightful autumn and mostly mild winters.
It is a quite rural hamlet, without trough traffic, at a distance of 1,5 km from a little village with all amenities. The village lies halfway the historic cities of Angoulême and Périgueux and not far from the picturesque medival "towns" of Brantôme and Bourdeilles.
My place is situated admidst verious historical monuments such as 3 chateaux, a beautiful Roman church from the 12th century, gaves and cave-houses dating back from approximately 600 C.A., in the Merovingian era.
(The Merovingians were a dynasty of Frankish kings, who from the 5th until halfway the 8th century reigned over a regulary changing territory in parts of the present France and Germany).
In Angoulême, at a distance of half an hour driving, there is a High Speed Train (TGV) connection with Bordeaux, Paris and the airport Charles de Gaulle. There is also a bus connection from the village to Angoulême and Perigueux as well as between the railway station in Bordeaux and the airport.
The airports of Bergerac and Limoges (1,5 hours by car from the village) have regular flight connections to the UK.
There are also 2 mountainbikes available!
I do not smoke and do not wish for smokers to accept this invitation.

My sister and i stayed with Saskia for 5 weeks. In this time we learned a lot of new skills and met many new people. The work was never too hard, and there was always time to explore the area. Saskia cooked for us every evening, and she always made sure we had fresh bread for breakfast. I would recomend this workaway to anyone who would like to… read more

Bella fitted into life and work here with ease, being well travelled and having grown up in several different countries we had a great deal in common. She could speak French realy well, which helped her to communicate and integrate with my friends,neighbours and the local community at social events.

Working and living at Saskia’s place was my first Workaway experience and I am so grateful for it! The hamlet, Mareuil, and Saskia’s house we’re all beautiful and I had plenty of opportunities to explore the nearby areas and other villages. Saskia made me feel at home, introduced me to so many people from around Europe and from around the world,… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Deanna & Amber)

Amber and Deanna spent two weeks with me. Dispite the fact that this was their first experience as workaways they fitted right into the daily routine. They concentrated mostly on gardening work and transformed the "wild area" at the back of my garden, which was full of nettles, brambles and ivy. They were versatile and enjoyed their time in the… read more

Saskia made our first workaway experience an unforgettable one!
Always delicious food (Her cooking blew us away!), an unbelievably beautiful home/garden, peaceful trails to walk and trips to nearby cities. Not far from Bordeaux and Perigueux.
Her home is very cozy and we were happy to have our own private space while also sharing common areas… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Gina)

Gina & Hanna: They cheerfully spent a bit more than two weeks with me in the first part of September, it seemed far too short a time. on many occasions they used their own initiative and did not wait until told what to do next. They worked well both individually or as a team. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they were happy to embrace new… read more

We stayed almost three weeks with Saskia and reaaaally enjoyed it. She lives in a very nice area, beautiful nature and very calm, but everything you need is close by (supermarket, Pharmacy,...). We worked often in her garden and sometimes in the house, the work was never too hard or too long. Our accommodation was just fabulous and we could also… read more

A fantastic part of the world!!!

Staying at Saskia's was one of the best experiences thus far on our trip. She made my partner and I feel well at home and part of the family. The community is extremely well knit with friends from all over the world dropping in and saying hi. We helped with gardening, cleaning of tiles and windows, and also built… read more

Having Lee around was a great and joyful experience. He is an easy going, multitalented and enthusiastic worker. He made an excellent team leader for my other Workaways with whom he got on well with both socially and when working. He wants all that he takes on to be done perfect without exception. At my place that included sanding and painting… read more

Miklo is a quietly confident Workaway. He quickly understood each new task and worked diligently and systematically until it was finished to his satisfaction. At no time did he watch the clock. He was able to work as a member of a team as well as independently. He enjoyed work and had a good understanding of the full range of D.I.Y… read more

Unforgettable experience!

This was my first Workway and hope that all the next to be like this. For two weeks I'm feeling like in my home, everything was amazing. I enjoyed the time with Saskia and her friends (specialy Jeffrey).

Saskia is an excellent cooky with Michelin star:star:.

Hope to be back to you again!

Merci beaucoup,
Madam Saskia
