Description
Hello! We are currently updating a large farmhouse in the Capcir area of the Pyrénées-Orientales, which is located 100km from Perpignan and 200km from Barcelona. We would like to create a bedroom in the attic and need help during the autumn and winter.
Our old farmhouse is at 1500m altitude in a beautiful high mountain valley. We enjoy incredible views of the mountains and the lake below. Sunsets are magical. It's simply stunning! There are plenty of outdoor activities here for nature lovers - winter skiing, summer hiking, mountain biking, fishing, horseback riding. Plus the calm is incredible.
My wife is American and practices acupuncture and I am French and an architect. We both speak French and English fluently. We live and work in Montpellier, when we are not up in the Pyrénées.
We would like to share this fantastic spot with with people who love nature, good food and doing handiwork around the house.Types of help and learning opportunities
