Description
I am renovating this house all on my own, and I have a project to build up the garden with fruit trees and vegetables, to become more self sufficient, and provide a space for other artists like myself to come and have quiet, nature-based retreats to resource and renew... I have a long term wish to build a sauna as my garden has a very cold river at the bottom! For the moment I just have the plunge pool! There is a fantastic big lake very nearby and a beautiful old village in walking distance, with a couple of eateries, shop, very old church and small independant art gallery.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
they could learn DIY skills as I also continue to learn them, musical skills, gardening skills, language skills. Languages spoken here: English French German Swedish Norwegian. I’m a professional musician so I’m sure that musical exchanges can happen too. I am half english/German but mostly speak French here. I live in a beautiful area with lots of walks (cycling also good), and food markets, old castles, a huge lake, wine culture, lots of activities possible… hoping to meet new interesting people through workaway!

Help
I am renovating a house in an old medieval French village near Albi, Gaillac, Toulouse and could do with an extra pair of hands, as I am currently doing it all myself with occasional help from friends!
It’s mostly decoration, sanding plastering painting but some garden work too. My wish is to get a veg garden going and plant more fruit trees in addition to those I already have. If I have an extra pair of hands things could go a lot faster and I’d be able to start planting things in the garden too! -

The property and nature are charming and lies in the heart of a gorgeous airier in France.
As it was full spring as I arrived, we did a lot of work in the garden. Mostly strimming, planting and figuring out, where everything out to go. I felt very at home straight away, with the food being really good and … read more
