Description
Hello to you :)
We live in a quiet hamlet, surrounded by forest, above a small village in the Ariège mountains!
We have a barn in which we regularly spend time, at 1000m altitude in the mountains, in a remote and very wild place (see photos on our page). We would be happy to share time with you in these 2 places!
We love nature, we aim for autonomy (gardening, wood heating with wood stove...), we practice meditation, and are happy to meet new people :)
We have a 7 year old son who is home schooled.
We are looking for people who could give him lessons (CP/CE1 level) mainly in French/math (without having to be a teacher...but above all wanting to accompany the children in their learning!).
We speak English fluently, but we are looking for French-speaking people, in order to be able to teach French reading and writing.
Richard also needs help with the layout of a website he is doing...so anyone with skills on the subject is also welcome (in addition to the desire to spend an hour / days in French and math classes).
In exchange for your helping hand (about 10h/week, and the same for a couple: 10h in total), we offer you accommodation in our motorhome, parked in a nice place (quiet, with a nice view :)), as well as access to our washing machine and our shower (no food provided).
Hope to meet you :))

Bonjour a vous :)
Nous vivons dans un hameau tranquille, entoure de foret, au dessus d'un petit village dans les montagnes ariegeoises!
Nous avons une grange dans laquelle nous passons du temps regulierement, a 1000m d'altitude dans les montagnes, dans un lieu recule et tres sauvage (voir photos sur notre page). Nous serions heureux de partager avec vous du temps dans ces 2 lieux!
Nous aimons la nature, nous visons a l'autonomie (jardinage, chauffage au bois avec cuisiniere a bois...), nous pratiquons la meditations, et sommes heureux de rencontrer de nouvelles personnes :)
Nous avons un fils de 7 ans, qui est a l'ecole a la maison.
Nous cherchons des personnes qui pourraient lui donner des cours (niveau CP/CE1) de francais/maths principalement (sans avoir le besoin d'etre instituteur...mais surtout d'envie d'accompagner les enfants dans leurs apprentissages!).
Nous parlons anglais couramment, mais nous cherchons des gens francophones, afin de pouvoir enseigner la lecture et l'ecriture du francais.
RIchard a aussi besoin d'aide pour la mise en page d'un site internet qu il est en train de faire...donc toutes personnes ayant des competences sur le sujet est bienvenues aussi (en plus de l'envie de passer une heure/ jours aux cours de francais et maths).
En echange de votre coup de main (environ 10h/ semaine, et idem pour un couple: 10h au total), nous vous proposons un hebergement dans notre camping car, gare dans un chouette lieu (tranquille, avec une jolie vue :) ), ainsi que l acces a notre machine a laver et notre douche (pas de nourriture fournie).
Au plaisir de vous rencontrer :))

Warm hearted people, good communication and a magic place to live.
The work is hard, as it is when you live in mountains and is definitly worth it.
