Description
We are an Italian-French family, living in a small village at 1100m of altitude in the Vallée d'Oeuil, in the central French Pyrenees. We have 2 daughters, Nina (4 yrs old) and Zelie (1 yr old). Our house is surrounded by a large garden, meadows, forests and plenty of mountains.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a yoga teacher and a mountain leader, and we would love to share our passions with the Workawayer. We enjoy making bread, gardening, brewing beer at home, playing the piano or ukulele, knitting, walking and camping in the mountains, and all kinds of outdoor activities (climbing, skiing, hiking, paragliding). There will also be opportunities to learn or practice French or Italian.
We are currently renovating an old barn in an eco-friendly way.If the Workawayer would like to participate to this project, it could be an opportunity to share knowledge and learn/improve building skills. And of course, there will be gardening around the house. If the Workawayer is interested, they can also learn permaculture gardening techniques from our sister- and brother-in-law, who use part of the garden to grow vegetables and aromatic herbs.
Help
We could host a WorkAwayer from April to June or from October to November 2026.
During this period, we are looking for help with children, gardening and some DIY-light building project. The Workawayer will be welcome to take part in these projects, to help and learn alongside us, and share experiences and knowledge.

I love to speak English. I learnt Portuguese in 2010 when I spent 5 months in Brazil, so I'd be happy to practice it again.
Accommodation
The Workawayer will have her/his own room, with private toilet and bathroom (with shower).
We will eat together for lunch and dinner. We are mainly vegetarian, we eat eggs and cheese, some fish from time to time.
What else ...
We are 15 minutes away by car from Bagnères-de-Luchon, where you can find all kind of services (supermarkets, library, cinema, shops, gym, café, thermal baths). The area is a great place for those who love outdoors activities (hiking, skiing, mountain bike, trail running, paragliding, climbing). You can actually start hiking straight from the front door :-)
We are 30 minutes away by car from the France-Spain border, perfect for short or long trips to visit Spain.
From Bagnères-de-Luchon, there are buses and trains connecting Luchon to Montréjeau (40min) and Toulouse (2h). From Toulouse, you can travel further in many directions, to the Mediterranen sea or to the ocean, to Paris or elsewhere.
