Description
Hello,
Beautiful isolated property in the Lot department, in the south-west of France, in the heart of the Causses du Quercy Natural Park.
A very large 7 bedroom house + a renovated 4 bedroom farm that we have been renovating for two years, we finally create our vegetable garden.
We are also renovating a huge breeding enclosure for backyard animals: chickens and ducks to avoid predators.
We are looking for workawayers to spend a sympathetic and convivial stay, in a happy family, epicurean and cultivated in the heart of the local social fabric !
We have already received dozens of collaborators and we keep with them solid bonds of friendship ...
Things to do are neither complicated nor difficult, just build a place open to everyone!
We eat a lot of vegetables, we love them, very varied, but also meat, we do a lot of barbecue and gastronomic specialties. The breeding of sheep and cows is well established here, the conviviality revolves around a good convivial aperitif with friends and neighbors, with cold cuts, foie gras, good wines, etc ...
we love all cultures and Arts, poetry, painting, theater, music, circus... Artists, you're very welcome !

Actually, I was a little bit comfused because the culture is totally different from my country's. However including that fact, it was still fascinating and full of smiles.
Even though I tried this work-away for the first time, there were no problems. Besides, this town is tranquil and beatuiful.
