  Description

  Hey there !'m a farmer living in the North of France with my two kids - 23 & 19 who are starting now to live their own lives, so they'are sometimes at home with me or travelling too like you :), so and l'm often alone with 12 animals, horses, cats, horses, cats, and horses ..... :)
  . I've been hosting couch-surfers for a long time which has been a great experience, but since they are usually just passing by for a few days, I am looking for a cultural exchange that would last a bit longer. :-)
  
  The farm has 12 horses and at home, 3 cats.
  - Mainly looking above all for people who would like to discuss a lot about different topics and share culture
  - for help around the house (cooking & cleaning) as well as with the horses if you are knowledgable
  - I would like to host workawayers during school vacation periods where I can be present & focus more on the farm and less on my other work.
  
  Would you like to be our guest ?
  - Our guest will sleep in a private room, and shared wc & shower with the children.
  - I'm especially interested in the chance to have a language exchange, and general cultural discovery.
  
  So, l propose to you to experience a french farmer life :-)
  
  See you soon,
  
  Arnaud
