Help our family with our renovation project in a medieval village, Tremolat, in SW France. Outside clearing work initially.

Description

We are Karen and Andrew and we have been living in France for 22 years. Just as we thought our renovation days were over we have taken on a new project!

The picture is of the house we have purchased. It is just next door to where we live permanently. Our village is right in the Dordogne valley and we have some great restaurants just nearby!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

We live in a medieval village in SW France. Loads of historical sites, castles, lovely villages to visit PLUS you can learn or practice some French

Help

We have just bought the (nearly derelict) house next door. The garden is full of rubble and stones that have been removed from the building. We need fit people to help us clear the garden and sort out the stones (for possible wall building in the future). Also help where necessary to lift/carry materials into the house for the builder......
Looking to start September time for a month or so...
