Description
Hello,
[We are looking for someone for the last week of november.
And we are looking for someone to do animals and house keeping between the 20th of december and the 5th of january].
My name is Aurore and I am naturopath. I am 35 years old.
After 3 years in van, I decided to buy an old farm built in 1860 in the middle of the nature, in south Ardeche. I have a donkey on a land just in front of the house, a free rabbit who love to run all around, and a young cat !
I enjoy to do yoga, sports, and dancing !
I live with Zeb, he is 54 years old. He was travelling with his donkey for 3 years. I met him on the road. He is a (nice) cave man :-), he loves animals, wood work and watching movies. It's the artist of this house (you can see it on one of the picture).
We have opposites personnalities so we find a nice balance !
There is a forest just behind the house with a 3 days walk if you want, a good river spot to swim after work, the village is at 5 kms with all shops (bakery, supermarket...).
The bus stop is in the village, but it's really easy to do hitchhiking in Ardeche. People are really nice here and there is a lot of alternative lifestyle.
The house is quite rustical (we have dry toilets). The landscape around is amazing.
Beautiful things to see and visit around :
- Gorges de l'Ardèche
- La grotte Chauvet
- Balazuc (really old village)
- Amazing rivers spots surrounding by moutains
- Kayaking on the river if you come before october.
Our village is Largentière and we can pick you in the city Aubenas. There is no train station but you can find a bus from Montélimar train station.
It will be easier to travel around if you have your own car.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I was traveler as well, I did a lot of work-exchanges during my travels, so now I feel grateful to welcome travelers. It's a nice "life balance" for me.
You can come with us at some locals markets or concerts.
I love to swim in cold river, so feel free to join me !
If you want to visit specifics places, we can organize that on our free time.
Help
I bought this house in the beginning of the year and there is few things to do : painting, decoration crafting, gardening, cleaning...nothing too much physical, more precision work.
Possibily to learn wood design.
I would like to welcome someone who loves nature and animals, who is curious and implicated.
I ask for 4-5 hours per day with week-end off.

We will eat together during breakfast, lunch and diner. We will provide you food for this 3 meals. Please, tell us if you have any food preference or intolerance, so we can make meals that everyone like.
There is always someone at home for meals time.
I eat mostly vegetarian food but I like to have some meat sometimes.
Zeb eat more meat than me so we can ajust as you prefer.
We don't drink but we accept a small consuption of alcohol. We don't want to deal with excessive consuption.
(Except that, we are quite cool 😁)
What else ...
If you like to go around with a donkey, it's possible to bring him on shorts walks.
