    Description

    We live in France, particularly in Normandy, close to Fécamp, Etretat, Honfleur and Deauville.....
    We are building our own house, which will soon be finished. We're in our sixties and love to travel. We'd love to learn English and have workawayers teach us the language. In exchange, we'll teach them French. The workawayers could help us with small jobs around our house, and in exchange, we'll show them around our region. They'll of course be provided with room and board in exchange for a few hours of their help. Don't hesitate to contact me. Kind regards,
    Isabelle and Patrick

    Nous vivons en France et tout particulièrement en Normandie tout près de Fécamp, d’Etretat, Honfleur, Deauville…..
    Nous construisons nous même notre maison qui sera bientôt terminée. Nous avons la soixantaine et aimons voyager. Nous aimerions tant apprendre l’anglais et recevoir des workawayers qui nous apprennent cette langue. En échange nous leur apprendrons le français. Le workawayers pourrait nous aider à des petits travaux notre maison et en échange nous lui ferons visiter notre région. Il sera bien évidemment logé et nourri en échange de quelques heures de son aide. N’hésitez pas à me contacter. Bien cordialement

    Accommodation

    We have a converted truck and a bathroom with shower, sink and toilet. And in the next few months we will have a brand new bedroom.

    We are a couple in our sixties, living in a house my husband built himself. Although he remains active daily in maintaining our home, our goal is not to employ our guests, but to share a true cultural exchange.

    We provide all meals: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner. Our main goal is the opportunity to practice English and create a wonderful human connection. We are also happy to introduce our guests to our beautiful region and, if our guests wish, help them learn French.

    We want everyone to feel at home here, in a friendly, simple, and respectful atmosphere.

    Nous avons un camion aménagé et une salle de bain avec douche, lavabo et toilettes
    Et dans les prochains mois nous aurons un chambre toute neuve

    Nous sommes un couple dans la soixantaine, vivant dans une maison que mon mari a construite lui-même. Bien qu’il reste actif au quotidien pour entretenir notre lieu de vie, notre objectif n’est pas de faire travailler nos invités, mais de partager un véritable échange culturel.

    Nous offrons tous les repas : petit déjeuner, déjeuner, goûter et dîner. Ce que nous recherchons avant tout, c’est l’occasion de pratiquer l’anglais et de créer une belle connexion humaine. Nous serons également ravis de faire découvrir notre belle région et, si notre invité le souhaite, de l’aider à apprendre le français.

    Nous voulons que chacun se sente ici comme chez lui, dans une ambiance conviviale, simple et respectueuse.
