Description
We are on a French adventure with our 2 dogs Jack & Gizmo.
We have just purchased a beautiful chambre d'hote in the Laungedoc Roussillon region of France. Will need some general painting and maintenance help. The village (Caunes Minervous) is a busy tourist village in the heart of the wine producing Minervois region. Surrounding by Cathar Castles, Vineyards, 30 minutes to the beach, 20 minutes to Carcassonne, an hour to the pyrenees and not too far from the beautiful cities of Montpellier, Beziers, Perpignan and Marseille.
