Description
Hi, I live in a cottage in rural France with my 2 little dogs and 2 cats. I have around half an acre of land. It is very quiet and on the edge of a chemin (track). It’s lovely to hear the birds and nothing else. My back garden looks directly onto a field and I’m looking forward to seeing the farmer harvest his crops.
My project is to have a vegetable garden and grow flowers/vegetables from seed. I also have a two storey barn. The top floor is open and I would like this turned into a seating area overlooking the countryside.

Travellers will learn about growing vegetables and the types of vegetables grown in France. They will learn about the different types of building materials and how to lay floorboards and pointing old stone walls.
Help
Creating a vegetable garden and repairing stone walls and a floor in barn. This will involve laying floorboards and pointing the walls.
I also have a wooden garage which is open at front. Structurally it is in good condition but needs a floor.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
I don’t have accommodation. I’m looking for travellers who have their own camper van to live in. I will provide meals.
What else ...
The area is ideal for cycling and exploring the local countryside. There is a river a few hundred yards away from cottage and there is a couple of local bars within cycling/driving distance.
I spend a lot of time taking dogs for walks, in the garden and being with my friends.
