  Description

  Hello!
  We are two neighbors living in the same hamlet and each of us has a big ancient and beautifully renovated farmhouse with big gardens.
  We would love to share a workawayer between us to help us with the tasks of maintaining the gardens and doing some repairs as needed.
  
  Most of the times one of us will be working with you in the garden and we will have our meals together. If you are interested you can also share our normal life activities that we do in the villages next to us like attending to aikido classes, laughter yoga seminars, gymnastic and singing classes.
  
  You will have a room for yourself with private bathroom at Marie Ange’s super house where you will be able to use her trampoline (which lives inside her house!).
  You will be welcome of course to join Tchoc (Border collie) on his walks up the mountains and if you are a musician please bring your instrument along because you could play with Louane at the piano, Enki with the battery or me with the traverse flute.
  In each of our houses there is a gite so you will be able to know different people and practice your French. (If you don’t speak French don’t worry because we can speak English, some Italian and some Spanish).
  
  We live in the stunning valley of ‘ La Vallee Verte’, well known for its fantastic energy; a beautiful place not too far from Geneva or Annecy and only one hour away from Chamonix. There are many places around here where you can go for beautiful walks, cycling and hiking, and a bit further away you can go for a bath in Lake Geneva. We can let you a bike if you want!
  
  Please be aware that we live in the middle of nature. The closest village with shops is ‘Boëge,’ which is 3 km away. Public transport doesn’t work very well up here and it definitely doesn’t get any near our houses. So you need to have your own car if you want to move around the area.
  
  
  Nous sommes 2 voisines vivant dans un petit hameau et nous avons chacune une magnifique grande ferme rénovée avec un grand jardin.
  Nous adorerions partager un woofer entre nous pour nous aider dans l’entretien des jardins, potager et divers bricolages si necessaire.
  La plupart du temps, une de nous travaillera avec vous dans le jardin et nous prendrons nos repas en commun.
  Si vous êtes intéressés, vous pourrez également partager les activités de notre vie quotidienne comme faire de l’aikido, jouer de la musique ou chanter, pratiquer le yoga du rire ou de la gymnastique.
  Vous aurez une chambre avec votre salle de bain dans la super maison de Marie-Ange a l'intérieur de laquelle vous pourrez faire du trampoline.
  Nous serez naturellement bienvenu pour accompagner Tchoc, notre border collie dans ses promenades et ses jeux.
  Si vous êtes musicien, prenez votre instrument et nous serons heureux de pouvoir jouer avec vous si vous en avez envie (Louane au piano, Enki a la batterie et Marie-Ange a la Flute traversiere)
  
  Nous habitons dans l'étonnante Vallee Verte connue pour sa énergie, un endroit magnifique proche de Geneve, Annecy ou Chamonix. Vous pourrez egalement decouvrir de nombreuses randonnees, faire du velo ou grimper. Nous vivons au milieu de la nature, le plus proche village, Boege, est a 3 km et les transports publics ne sont pas tres nombreux, il est vivement recommander de venir en voiture si vous souhaitez profiter de la region.
  
  Nous nous rejouissons de vous acceuillir.
