Enjoy a glass of wine and help with painting and gardening in Bordeaux, France

Beschreibung

My name is Deanne & my husband Richard are both preparing to live the French dream.

We have recently purchased this beautiful grand Maison de Maître in the Bordeaux wine region.
Bordeaux is famous for their wine. Literally I believe there is no such thing as a bad wine.

Our primary reason for this exchange is to enjoy the company of others while renovating our home.
We will provide learning experience for our workaways. Both my husband and I have renovation experience and hope to share this knowledge with our workaways.

My husband background is in electrical and myself in IT. We love dogs and animals.
We look forward to meeting you and sharing our travel stories and hearing about yours from around the world.

You will be working with my husband and I and given instructions, training and assistance where needed. We have many jobs to do such as sorting through furniture, cleaning and moving items to prepare for painting and decorating. We are located in a small village surrounded by vineyards. We truly love this area of France as it took 5 years to find our home.

The gardens needs some care.
With some help from you we hope to turn this beautiful house into our future home.

For the big jobs we will be hiring professional artisans to do the renovation works.
We are 15 minutes from the UNESCO Village of Saint Emilion.

Come join us for some rejuvenation of this home and enjoy good food and wine.
