    Description

    Hello Workawayers!
    We are a young family of 4 (Elodie, Adrien, Lucas & Emma) living in Grasse (near Cannes, in Provence Côte d'Azur)!
    Lucas, 3 years old, and Emma, 1, are our pride and joy!
    My husband, Adrien, is a history teacher and I work at the French Agency for the Environment.
    We live in a great house we adore but that needs loads of refurbishement! Same thing with the garden!!!

    We both traveled a lot and we love meeting people from all around the world and speaking English!

    He is also a great handy-man (I have yet to find something he can't do...) and you will learn lots of things refurbishing the house with us!
    We are rather beginners in the garden and would love to learn from you! In general, we are keen to learn new skills, so please come and share!

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The house is 4 km away from the train station. The train will take you to Cannes in 30 minutes (the same train then goes to Antibes, Nice, Monaco...). We can lend you bicycles to go around and also take you to the train station or any place nearby whenever we are at home.

    A canal passes in front of the house: it is a flat 10 km path along the water, very nice to walk and run!
