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 but my passion is gardening and we are members of a local Gardening Club.
Outdoor work: Renewing the fencing and posts around the sheep/hirse field is our priority this autumn/winter but other jobs include gardening; landscaping; fencing; maintenance; clearing; digging; setting up water collection system (funds allowing) etc. etc.
I love gardening and am trying to use more if our land for growing but as I work as a carer the garden tends to get left until last and is definitely in need of some tlc.
Indoor/Other work: painting shutters/ doors/windows, sorting/prep for Charity Book Fair.

Between us we speak English, French and a little German. Always happy to improve our French.
Double apartment. Comfortable and fully equipped. Also bedrooms in main house.
Our local town of Eymoutiers is a lively place with weekly markets, and a definite "hippy" vibe.
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.
