Description
Hi.
My wife and I are changed life 6 years ago. We moved from Paris to the beautiful city of Lyon where we bought and transformed a big property to build a guest house with different outbuildings and also a treehouse , canadian tent. .our concept is the country side within the city as we are above the river saone and only 10 mn from thecenter of Lyon (world capital for food and second biggest town in France).
We welcome people from all around the world.
We also have 4 different other jobs and therefore need help in our daily life
We have two kids 8y.o old and 5 years old and a 3 year old dog and are looking for our next workawayer to come and help .
The workaway we'll be considered as part of our family like our previous workawayers
We are looking for /and always had very mature, autonomous and curious workawayers which will have lots of time to discover Lyon and make friends etc.
We dont need specific help for kids as they are in school all week long and we work from home most of the time so we get them to school in the morning and evening
The best thing to have an advice on life with us is to check our previous workawayers feedback on their experience at home :)
We"ll organize with the workawayers interested in the expeirience at home a whatsapp video call as we always do so everyone can introduce itslef, we can show you the floor of the castle on which our workawayers have their suite and also exchange together about possible fees for 'working hours' and how we deal with the workawayers food.

Accommodation
On our 12 ha property above the river saone there are 5 buildings. The workaway will be living with us 4 in the castle and will have its proper bedroom-suite with his bathroom etc...
What else ...
Lyon is accesible by a bus down the street in 10 mn. Lyon was the French capital during many years during the roman time and there for has many historical places to discover. Also its very pleasant if you are a food lover as its the hometown of Paul Bocuse the first chef ever in the world with a star. Lyon is the world capital for food ;) At home we have a spa, swimming pool and many other amenities during your spare time if you want to rest. Otherwise you'll be able to go anywhere you want for spare time like in the south of france to the seaside or in the mountains or anywhere.

We recommend here as we could not possibly more recommend someone else. On the other hand if she is willing to travel again we'll hope it'll be at our home ;)
She is smiling, fun, dynamic, easygoing etc etc ... we loved Ellie.
