    Description

    In a small village in the Aude region, a peaceful life awaits. I'm looking for someone who loves nature and animals to help set up a garden. There are chickens, cats, and dogs. There's a private bedroom with a bathroom. Located near Carcassonne, Toulouse, and the Montagne Noire. I'm a 68-year-old woman who loves peace and quiet and being close to nature. I enjoy cooking for my friends and guests. My animals are my priority.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Visits to Carcassonne and Toulouse (an hour away by train). Many Cathar sites and the Canal du Midi are nearby. I am bilingual in French and German and am learning English. I enjoy exchanging and sharing knowledge, mutual discovery, and getting to know the people I meet and their customs.

    Help

    I need help creating a garden, positioning the tanks, making rainwater harvesting systems, and finishing a shed. Creating and DIY projects are among my passions; I love making things with recycled materials, pallets, etc.

    Accommodation

    My house isn't quite finished, but the most important things are working. I have a guest room with a separate bathroom. There's Wi-Fi and fiber optic internet. We share meals at home or in the garden, depending on the weather. The three dogs are still around, the cats are more discreet.

    Ma maison n’est pas vraiment terminée mais les choses les plus importantes fonctionnent. J’ai une chambre d’amis avec une salle de bain indépendante. Le wifi et la fibre.
    Repas partagés à la maison ou sur le terrain suivant la météo.
    Les trois chiens sont toujours présents, les chats plus discrets.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We can do some sightseeing together; for places further away, there's the train, and of course, I'll take you to the station. Smoking is not allowed in my home—that's non-negotiable 🙏 If you have a well-behaved dog 🐕, it's welcome.

    Nous pouvons faire certaines visites ensemble, pour les lieux plus éloignés il y aura le train et bien entendu je vous amènerai à la gare.
    On ne fume pas chez moi - c’est non négociable 🙏
    Si vous avez un chien 🐕 bien éduqué il est bienvenu,
