Description
For two friends or a couple - ONLY :-) We are an Australian family with two grown boys living in southern France. We live in a spa village called Vals Les Bains. We have a big old house that needs TLC and a garden where I'm constantly planting flowers and shrubs to attract bees and butterflies. I compost, recycle and try to maintain a herb and veggie garden. We have two young border collie dogs, Rex and Snowy, who are just 3 years old and love to go for walks in the forest and park.
We enjoy welcoming people from all over the world to share our love for nature and the Ardeche. Our workaways have their own private chalet with a bathroom and toilet. They also have access to mountain bikes, a heated pool from May until September, and a car to occasionally visit the surroundings. The meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—are always provided with local and organic produce. Vegetarians are welcome, but vegans are hard to accommodate in a French household.
The daily routine starts in the morning with walking Rexy and Snowey, then cleaning up the garden and forest to avoid bushfires; we finish at lunchtime; then, you are free to explore, take a picnic, and enjoy the beautiful Ardeche and all it has to offer. If you're interested in Kayaking down the Ardeche, I'm happy to organize a day for you at Vallon Pont Arc, & to visit the Grotte Chauvet, a UNESCO site that's a must to visit whilst you're here. As I'm Australian and my mother tongue is English, I'm happy to share my language with you and learn your language. If you'd like to do a language exchange with me in French, I`d be more than happy :-)
Digital Nomads very welcome :-))
We look forward to hearing from you soon - Leila & Christophe

We live in a spa village which is famous for its natural springs which there are approximately 100 coming into Vals Les Bains. There's a casino and the biggest park I've seen since living in France with an Olympic size heated pool which is open from May till September. Nearby just 10kms we have Aubenas, Balazuc, Vogue, Jaujac & Antraige plus the famous Pont de Diable a beautiful water hole which is our favorite place to swim and picnic in summer.

I'll tell you more about that when you send me your application - :-) Spring and summer help involves trimming the bushes and cutting the grass planting and maintaining my veggie garden. Walking our Rexy and Snowy is a daily chore when its not your day off :-) You will not be involved with guests and their spaces/
