Description
I used to be a shepardess and I am from the Pyrénées. My children have now taken over the farm I am now 65.
I have just moved in a 300 m2 family village house in Cases de Pêne 66 with a lot of repairing and redecorating and I badly need help.
I am an artist as well and will have a studio in the house.
Cases de Pêne is a small Catalan village in the hills but 10 MN from Perpignan Airport and motorway.
My project is to open the 10 bedroomed house to travelers and artists (I did that before in smaller house)
There is lots of painting to be done, window mending, wall papers, the large terrasse to organize and big cleaning will be needed.
I am mending and painting wooden furniture at the moment.
If you feel you would like to help for some of the job I will be delighted to host you and give you good tips to visit the area.
I would love to share cooking in order to discover different food (I am vegetarian but can cook meet etc...)
Thank you for reading and hoping to see you soon

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am at the disposal of visitors for everything concerning my region of the Pyrenees and particularly the eastern Pyrenees where I had a flock of sheep for 27 years. As an artist I can introduce you to oil, watercolor and other techniques (and also paint without technique at all) As a grandmother, I make the best brownies in the west and am curious and inexhaustible about life stories!

En tant que grand mère je fais les meilleurs brownies de l ouest et suis curieuse et intarissable sur les histoires de vie !
