  Description

  Help us renovate our house in a charming village nestled between Carcasonne and Narbonne in the South of France. The household consists of myself (South African), my partner (British) and my mother (South African) and our two cats Eddy and Harry. There is a lot to explore around here in the minervois region.
  
  The whole house needs renovating inside but we plan to do this in stages as we run a restaurant in the village which keeps us very busy. The first project we would like help with is for someone with Carpentry skills and plastering skills welcomed who can help us wood panel the walls and ceilings in one of the bedrooms.

  What else ...

  It’s possible to take a bus to Lezignan Corbiers from where you can take a train to nearby Carcassonne, Narbonne or Beziers to explore. Our village has a supermarket excellent weekly market etc.
  
  As we work long hours Tuesday - Saturday, we need the house to be quiet in the afternoon for an hour when we rest and generally past 11pm. We’re easy going but would like someone who is clean, neat and tidy and generally respectful and considerate of others.
