    Description

    I am looking for someone who is handy. I have a small organic raspberry field and i would like some help with the farm and my organic raspberries. We provide delicious healthy vegetarian food and you have your own sleeping place in a 'roulotte'

    The house is on top of a hill very isolated in the middle of nature. Our goal is to create a ´makers place´ in a rural area. The farm is located on a hill with beautiful views and next to a nature reservate. Are you a musician, creative or handy or you like to cook? Do you dream to buy your own farm and would like to try out farm life in rural france? Or do you just want to spend some time in nature? We love to share our practical skills with you and happy to help you improve your english, or Dutch or French. We have piano.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The Bourgogne is known for its nature, forests and beautiful skies. There is not much to do around here, but that is the beauty of it. It is completely still and quiet here. The best village nearby is Autun or Montceau les Mines. There is a TGV station at 30 minutes. We live very isolated the nearest shop is at 7 km, having your own transport/car is really necessary.
