    Description

    - gardening and a few odd jobs


    Approximately from 30 March - 10 April or about 5-7 days in that time frame.
    We are both in our 60's and this is our holiday home . We have 2 dogs and will probably have some of our family with us. We are English and live in London when we are not in the house in France.

    Basically to help in the garden - tidying up and clearing the beds after the winter.

    This is a family home not a commercial rental property.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    This is an old hunting lodge in the Tarn surrounded by hill top medieval villages. Rivers and forests and hot! Beautiful local towns but the house is quite isolated and NOT in a village. There is a pool and beautiful garden with a tennis court. . You must like being in the countryside. The pool is not open until mid May.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Ideally you will have your own transport as there is a huge amount of sightseeing locally - Toulouse, Albi, Cahors - too much to see especially for those interested in history. Our river has canoeing, there is horse riding locally and fantastic walks etc. Having your own transport is not eseential though.
