Informationen

Beschreibung
We are Sue and Paul and we live on our renovated home in France, an old farmhouse with barns and large garden. We have 2 sheep, chickens, 2 barn cats and 2 dogs: Jack the Border Terrier and Monty the Australian Berger/Griffon cross.
We are looking for people with initiative to help with maintenance jobs around the house and land. There is always lots to do and a wide variety of jobs to suit most capabilities.

Outdoor jobs:
- Help with animal care, feeding, cleaning and exercising.
- landscaping (heavy work)
- clearing garden for raised beds
- clearing dead trees, chipping branches
- clearing brambles
- Cutting trees down
- refencing sheep field

Indoor jobs:
- preparing and painting windows/shutters/doors/furniture/gates
- April - sorting books and setting up for one of our annual Charity Book Fairs

The house is quite rural, about 4.5km from two towns. There are bikes available to use.
Very large lake nearby - Lac de Vassiviere.
Internet access is good and unlimited.

The accommodation is a fully equipped, comfortable apartment attached to the house, suitable for 1 person or a couple.
Or
There are bedrooms in the main house. Stay could be extended either way if needed or to help with work.

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
We live in small, friendly hamlet and have both English and French friends. We play boules regularly, in the village, with our French and English neighbours. We enjoy board games and I enjoy various crafts.

Lots of outdoor work: gardening; landscaping; maintenance; clearing; digging; etc. etc.
Gesprochene Sprachen
Englisch: Fließend
Französisch: Gute Kenntnisse

Unterkunft
Double apartment. Comfortable and fully equipped. Also bedrooms in main house.
Was noch ...
We will provide 3 meals a day and accommodation in return
Accommodation is of a very good standard. We have unlimited wifi, however reception can be variable in very bad weather and has to be disconnected if it's stormy.

We are British but do mix with our French neighbours in the area so there will be some opportunities for improving your French.
Please feel free to ask any questions with no obligation.

I'm not very good at the selling of this but your help would be appreciated and you would get a real idea of living in rural France.

Thanks for taking the time to read this listing.

Vom Workawayer (Matěj) für Host

Paul and Sue were my first workaway experience and I couldn't be more happy about it. They're wonderful people, they tell you everything you need to know about place and work. They made you feel at home really quickly and Jack and Monty will help you with that too (two nice dogs, looking for cuddles all the time). Beautiful accommodation and… read more

Matej was amazing from the start. We would happily recommend him as a workawayer. He was always ready for work and seeking out things he could do. A very quick learner and always cheerful. Great with the animals and happy to work on his own or with us. Helped with lots of things, from clearing woodland, fallen trees, repairing phones, tablets,… read more

Vom Workawayer (Daniel & Carly) für Host

We recently spent two amazing weeks in the Limousin with Paul, Monty and Jack. We were helping to re-point a stone building and were lucky enough to have a good look around the incredibly stunning area, cycling around the hilly countryside and checking out some local towns, museums and markets. Paul was a fantastic host who showed us around the… read more

Vom Workawayer (Robert) für Host

I can't say enough good things about my stay with Paul and Jack (Border Terrier). We laughed, ate, and worked together as if I'd known him my entire life. I stayed with Paul for five weeks and felt the time flew by too quickly. We met as strangers, and left as friends, and I will return! The accommodations were clean and very comfortable, the food… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Robert)

Rob, will be sorely missed, He helped cut trees in the forest, digging the garden and even with the cooking on my school days (Monday afternoons). He has a wicked sense of humour and we have offered him the opportunity to return whenever he likes. Always keen to throw himself into any task, brilliant

Thank u Paul for an awesome experience cutting trees and firewood. We had a lot of fun cooking, eating, working hard and spending our afternoons together. I won valuable friends and almost got sentimental at departure. I would gladly return to this awesome place.

Alidh and Rob were brilliant they got on and we had a few laughs along the way it felt a lot longer than a week.
I had hoped to get two pigs butchered while they were hare but couldn't get them slaughtered till after they had gone.
They are both very welcome back at any time. All the best for the rest of your travels.

Vom Workawayer (Barbara & John) für Host

Any uncertainty about our first Workaway experience vanished with the warm welcome we received on arrival; the house is delightful and we were made very comfortable. Much of the work was physically demanding, particularly in the winter weather, so it helps to be tough, self-motivated and ready to have a laugh when life gets gruelling! But we… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Elizabeth)

Elizabeth was a great helper and was willing to do anything asked of her which included painting, weeding, clearing woodland, moving stones and picking up the tons of rubbish left on the land by the previous owners. This was not the best of tasks and took Elizabeth well out of her comfort zone but she worked well both on her own and with… read more
