    Description

    We are Ilse & Dominique and we live in a 200y old farm house in the middle of nowhere (Indre, France) with a vegetable garden, and 2,6H of land and animals. You have amazing views and tranquility. Outdoor showers and an open fire cooking place with outdoor kitchen. We would love some help of like-minded souls 🙌🏻 These days we need help in the garden. Chop wood, trimming apple trees,…
    We have sheep and chickens and cute cats, so u need to be an animal lover! :) Pls only apply when you really feel it, not only looking for a place.
