The tasks involves digging and other heavy work, a bit of house tasks on rainy days. The rest would involve general maintenance and odd tasks, cutting and stucking wood, sanding….

    What else ...

    To come here you would travel to Tarbes where we would meet you at Tarbes train station or Tarbes/Lourdes airport.

    But people with their own transport would be particularly well suited as we are out in the country and we can not always promise to take you on exploration trips.
