Description
I live 4km away from the center of Uzes.
I'm a retired woman of 66
I live in a little paradise and I'm looking for help to do it better again.
We have having been living there for nearly 40 years and it's like 3 houses there now.
You must be confident with animals as I have 2 cats
I like to gardening a lot and have strawberries, rasperries, asparagus...
somebody must climb on a stepladder to cut all the wisteria going under the blows of the roof and attach maitresses branches in the tonnell ......
I'm looking for a couple (or two friends) who should feed the cats and the fire place
If you believe you could like to stay a little with us you can contact me

Sylvie has a great spirit, you'll hear her laughing around the place,she's relaxed and kind, the work is light, varied and flexible, there's a lot of space for the workers, I basically had my own house! But it's a relaxing place to be and although I was quiet I have learned a lot in French from listening, thank you Sylvie, bonne fete!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience on my first Workaway. I spent 5 weeks with Sylvie and had a wonderful time working in the garden, taking Loulou for walks, the music jams and visiting Uzes. It's like a little paradise and I already wish I was back! The work wasn't too hard - if you treat it as your house, you'll do fine.

Thank you so much Sylvie for this wonderful and amazing time at your home. Your garden is really a little paradise and liked it very much to work in it. To go for a walk with Loulou was wonderful and I will miss that. It was really nice to have other workawayers at the same time there.
