ESSENTIALTO KNOW
- Before total agreement we communicate by whats app audio / video
- You will have a private room onto a shared courtyard but shared bathroom. Respect for privacy is essential.
- Rooms are not centrally heated. Woodburner management is by the host.
- Be prepared to wear warm clothing indoors and use a hot water bottle. Electric underblankets available.
- This rural sleepy tourist village is almost comatose in Winter but busy in Spring / Summer when Parisian families and
Internationals arrive. Mostly, a quiet retreat! No razzamatazz!
In this ground floor L shaped 18th Century village house, personal space is vital to avoid stress. Good communication is essential. Please appreciate efforts of the host and be mindful of the task to achieve the best we can. Smartphones can be put aside during work hours.
I love living and meeting new people but I am not in 'loco parentis' & do not wish to host anyone without basic language or social skills or understanding of RURAL regions, who says well 'travelled' or 'likes walking" but who will not venture alone and says "oh where she comes from always drives!" because walking here means not on pavements!
