Hello!

We are a British couple restoring a property in L'isle Jourdain Vienne. (Poitou Charantes) parts of which are 1000 years old. We began this project about a year ago and have been turning what was an overgrown, leaky deathtrap into what we hope will be a beautiful home for our family.

The building itself is on an island separated from the town by a private bridge, and is only occupied by me (Helen), my husband (Moyed) 3 little yokies and two cats.

The nearest airports are Limoges and Poitiers (about an hour away by car) and it you drive theres plenty of space for a car here - in fact it's a great spot to explore the country on the weekends.

Our food is Mediterranean style vegetarian / vegan and we can also cater for gluten free diets.

You're welcome to come for anything for a week to month, and we would like someone to help for about 25 hours a week.

We think you will love L'Isle Jordain as much as we do!
Arbeit
We need help with maintaining the garden, general DIY building work and helping Moyed who is a carpenter. We are flexible on what time you start work as long as the work is done and is discussed with us.
If you want to learn new skills, get away from it all and love the idea of working on a bit of history you'll love it here.
Gesprochene Sprachen
English, Arabic
Unterkunft
The building is not yet ready, so you'll be staying in a mobile home on site - it has its own bathroom, kitchenette and two small double bedrooms
Was noch ...
There is lots to do and see locally from bungee jumping from the viaduct ( behind our place) and a zip wire across the river minutes away. There is a municipal swimming pool just up the road and bars, restaurants and a large supermarket in L'isle Jourdain literally 10 mins walk away . The famous Val de Vienne circuit is literally around 4 miles away with its varied events from Ferrari,Porche and motorcycle racing.
If you have any questions please ask!

Vom Host für Workawayer (Gavin & Wendy)

Wendy and Gavin stayed with us for 5 weeks and were absolutely fantastic! We can't praise them enough. They are extremely knowledgeable and hard working - we were absolutely blown away by how much they achieved while they were here.
They managed to transform our grounds (no easy task as we are on an island in the river) and the place now looks… read more

This was our first workaway experience and it exceeded all our expectations by far. We spent five weeks with Helen and Moyed at their special home and from the outset we (including our cat) were made to feel part of the family. We were introduced to many of their friends within the community and enjoyed the local activities on the river. We worked… read more

I fell in love with this place and the people. Moyad and Helen are amazing, it doesnt need long and you want to call them mum and dad :-) Moyed is very knowledgeable and sparked my love for woodworks. He always takes the time to explain and shows you tricks without arrogance. Helen is an excellent chef and took very good care of our needs.

I had a wonderful time with Moyed and Helen and thoroughly enjoyed meeting their friends. As previously mentioned Helens cooking was brilliant and plenty of it. I took on their curry challenge ( no curry is to hot for a North Eastern Lad)
Their home is full of history and very beautiful and they have a lovely dog and 2 cats with their own… read more

We stayed with Helen and Moyed for two weeks and it we had such an amazing time! L'isle Jourdain is such an amazing area and it was great fun to be living on an island. We went swimming in the river most days, had a look around the town and even visited the Val de Vienne circuit twice. Helen and Moyed were amazing hosts, they are so kind, helpful… read more
