    Description

    Hello, my name is Viviane and I moved to Central Brittany in July 2021, to a beautiful home in the country with a large garden (7000m2). I'm a therapist and used to run wellbeing retreats in the UK. I have moved to a house with beautiful grounds and am busy settling in. Eventually, I would like to run retreats here too. I aim to make this property as self-sustainable as possible. At the moment, I am renovating an old stone wall under the eaves which needs pointing. I'd like to do this with lime or ecologically if possible. Other walls need painting. I'll need help with moving things in the garage. I also have a garden table and chairs that need varnishing, and the garden could do with some tlc.

    I love receiving Workawayers and will be delighted to welcome you here in exchange for some help. You will have your own en suite room with beautiful views of the garden and country landscape. I look forward to meeting you!

    Accommodation

    I live in a large house which was set up as a bed and breakfast, with each room having its own suite. You will be in a large room under the eaves in the main house on the first floor with lovely views of the countryside and its own bathroom, or in a room on the second floor in the main part with lovely views of the gardens, depending on how many people are here. The beds are comfortable. We can all cook and eat together, it's always nice to share meals and chores.

    What else ...

    Where I live in Brittany is extremely quiet and close to woods with multiple excursion paths if you like walking or cycling . It's about 2kms from the commune it belongs to which has a bakery, convenience store, cafe, restaurant, chemist, post office etc. I am well situated for tourist attractions and places of natural beauty.
