  Description

  Hi,
  
  I live in the most beautiful part of France - Tarn in the Midi Pyrenees. I have a big house with a swimming pool and 3 acres in a tiny 14th century medieval village. I live on my own and I am looking for some help with the vegetable garden. I have been planning it for ages - I just need that extra pair of hands.
  
  Male or female or a couple and dogs welcome.
  
  Your accommodation is a beautiful gite with an independent entrance and your own kitchen and bathroom with a shared laundry, quiet area and free use of the swimming pool (if it's warm enough) and gardens. You have your own kitchen which if fully equipped with fridge freezer, oven and microwave. There is a shared laundry.
  
  You will need a car as the property is in rural France and the nearest village is 6 km away.
  
  I would like to take the opportunity to learn more French so if you are a native French speaker then even better - but not essential.
  
  The Midi Pyrenees is a beautiful area - great for cyclist and walkers. We can work a timetable suited to both of us - but probably help in the morning and and have the afternoons off.

  Accommodation

  I am a vegan but I don't mind if you eat meat or want to cook meat. There is a great kitchen so you are completely independent but we can have a couple of meals together. There are some restaurants in the nearest village and fresh local organic markets on Saturdays and Sundays. You will need a car as there is no public transport

  What else ...

  Albi is the nearest large town with its famous Cathedral and the Lautrec Museum. Toulouse airport is an hour away and Gaillac is the nearest train station.
