  • Description

    Description

    We are a small, friendly family: dad (French), mom (Italian), and our little Gioia, along with our big dog and 13 hens (a rooster will be joining us soon!).
    We enjoy a simple life close to nature: taking care of our land and going for lovely walks in the countryside and the mountains.
    We live in the heart of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, very close to the Spanish border.

    On est une petite famille : papa (français), maman (italienne) et notre petite Gioia, sans oublier notre grand chien et nos 13 poules (un coq nous rejoindra bientôt !).
    On aime une vie simple, au rythme de la nature : on s’occupe de notre terrain et on profite de belles balades à la campagne, dans les montagnes.
    On habite au cœur des Pyrénées-Atlantiques, tout près de la frontière espagnole.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural and human exchange is very important to us. As a multicultural family, we offer immersion in both local and Italian culture.

    We enjoy sharing simple everyday moments: meals, walks, conversations…
    We can also offer:
    language exchange (French, Italian, English)
    cooking moments (we run an association dedicated to Italian cuisine 🍝)
    And of course, we are always happy to discover your culture, ideas, and perspective.

    For us, a Workaway experience is above all about meeting people. We are looking for someone to share, learn, and create a meaningful experience together, based on respect, simplicity, and good energy

    En tant que famille multiculturelle, on propose une immersion à la fois dans la culture locale et italienne.

    On aime partager des moments simples du quotidien : repas, balades, discussions…
    On peut aussi proposer :
    • des échanges linguistiques (français, italien, anglais)
    • des moments autour de la cuisine (on a une association dédiée à la cuisine italienne 🍝)

    Et bien sûr, on est très curieux de découvrir ta culture, tes idées et ta façon de voir les choses.
    Pour nous, l’expérience Workaway est avant tout une rencontre. On cherche quelqu’un avec qui partager, apprendre et créer une belle expérience ensemble, dans le respect, la simplicité et la bonne humeur

    We are looking for someone who would like to lend a hand with our land and our chickens, share meaningful moments together, and exchange skills 😊
    More specifically, we could use help with:
    taking care of the chickens (moving the coop and making sure everything works well)
    reorganising the land and setting up the different areas where we plan to have greenhouses

    if you enjoy it, helping us in the vegetable garden:
    creating a little outdoor space with tables to enjoy the nice summer weather
    setting up a water pipe for a few meters so we can have water on the land

    We will do the tasks together — for us, it’s all about sharing, learning, and enjoying the experience together.

    On cherche quelqu’un qui aimerait nous donner un coup de main avec notre terrain et nos poules, partager des moments ensemble et échanger des compétences 😊

    Plus concrètement, on aurait besoin d’aide pour :
    • s’occuper des poules (déplacer le poulailler et vérifier que tout fonctionne bien)
    • réorganiser le terrain et aménager les différents espaces où l’on prévoit des serres
    • si ça te fait plaisir, nous donner un coup de main au potager
    • créer un petit coin avec des tables pour profiter des beaux jours en été
    • installer un tuyau sur quelques mètres pour amener l’eau sur le terrain

    On fera les activités ensemble : pour nous, c’est avant tout un moment de partage, d’apprentissage et de convivialité.
