    Beschreibung

    We are a French-American family looking for energetic people to help us out with various projects in our old stone village house in Ariege, midi-Pyrenees. We live in a mountain village of little more than 150 permanent residents, and our house provides superb views of Pyreneen mountain peaks that border Spain. We live in an area that is great for any nature enthusiasts- hiking, biking, etc. are all at our doorstep!

    We are interested in finding strong and energetic individuals or couples/duos who can help out for a minimum of few weeks, especially with some projects in our garden, which requires physical labor but no particular skills other than being fit and willing to get a bit dirty! We also always like having a bit of help around the house with things like cooking, washing up, straightening up, and organizing. We also love to have help with our two girls (ages 16 and 9), whether it is to drive them around, to do activities with them, or just to hang out! Finally, we also have a few home improvement projects that we could use help with.

    . Any folks interested in staying with us must love children, cats, and chickens - we have 3 kids (one just off to university) and 3 cats, and 4 chickens. Things you should know about us: 1) we like to eat home-cooked meals with fresh organic veggies and fruits from our local farmer's market (mainly vegetarian with a little meat - but full vegetarian or vegan is fine by us), 2) we love hosting couples but prefer that each person can be independent when needed, 3) we ask that our workawayers also participate in our daily family lives (e.g. lending a hand when necessary), 4) a stay with us will not be a full immersion in French (although we all are fluent french speakers, we make an effort to speak mainly English at home so that our kids will stay bilingual). 5) Our kids are energetic, social, and love to play games and interact with our helpers! We are both biologists by training - Alexis is a researcher who studies reproductive behavior in birds, Amy is an ecologist by training but now is mainly concentrating on all things Yoga.

    Unterkunft

    We are happy to provide a separate bedroom and bathroom, plus all meals, for 25 hours of help per week.

    An interesting fact is that around the turn of the last century our house was owned by a local bear trainer, hence the name L'Ourssatero.

    Was noch ...

    On your time off, and weather permitting, there are plenty of beautiful hikes and bike rides (we have extra bikes) that leave from our village, and ski resorts within an hour drive. One of the most fantastic outdoor farmer's markets in France occurs every Saturday in nearby Saint Girons. There are also several Cathar castle ruins and medieval towns within an hour drive, as well as caves with prehistoric paintings.

    We have hosted helpers in the past - a number of whom have come back a few times and we now consider lifelong friends.

    We can host digital nomads or anyone who needs time for themselves. Much of the help we need is with kids and meals outside of regular working hours or other garden and house work that is super flexible.
