Beschreibung
We are Sundara and David, a retired but still very active Scottish couple. Our only home is a large mansionhouse ('maison de maître') overlooking the Canal du Midi in the Languedoc region. It is used for various purposes including jazz soirees as we are involved in the jazz world, me as a singer & David on electric bass. We have a large Mediterranean garden and a 12.5 m pool.
IMPORTANT..... For this year 2021 we only accept people who have been VACCINATED.
We invite helpers/friends into our home during the months of March, April, May, June, October & November.
We eat with our helpers and enjoy wonderful food. It is also useful if the applicants are reasonably competent cooks and are generally practical. We prefer couples but not under the age of 30.
It is a plus if the applicants are jazz musicians but on the whole those who are lovers of life are especially likely to enjoy our environment.Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
We love to hear about how life is lived in other European countries and on other continents. But for us, having workawayers from the UK is a lower priority because, being British ourselves, it is of less cultural interest. We hope that you will learn something from us, not least through the lively discussions we like to engage in over meals about world affairs and what is happening in your home country.

You do need to be practical, but computing skills are not needed. We would like you to stay for a week initially, with longer stays by arrangement. It also really IMPORTANT THAT YOU ARE VACCINATED If you want to live with us,

Nous voudrions surtout accueillir des couples français, afin que nous puissions améliorer notre français, en même temps que vous travailleriez votre anglais chez nous. À bientôt !

we love you! Ne le dites pas à nos parents, but having stayed ten days at your chateau we started wishing for you to adopt us! It is extraordinary how the castle is filled with charm and trust, good music and stunning moments, surrounded by the breathtaking landscape. The two of you are amazing. We will not forget eating… read more

We all had alot of fun together (in spite of the age differences), and we could recommend them to anyone.
