Come help a family in the French vineyards of Beaujolais, France

Description

We are in the beautiful French vineyards of Beaujolais (35 minutes from Lyon). We are a French- British couple with three small children (3, 2 and 0.5). The ‘big’ kids love being outside and going for adventures in our area.

We love music, movies, food and wine.

We live in a beautiful region next to a small village with all commodities, and a short trip to Lyon (30 mins by car or train) and Paris (1h30 by train).
