Description
We are a middle aged, fun English couple with no kids who came to France to have a good time, so far so good. If this sound like your sort of thing then please get in touch.
Types of help and learning opportunities
DIY and building projects
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
It will be a great opportunity to get involved and work with qualified craftsmen, all English or French. Although mostly labouring, there will be chance to do lots of "hands on" stuff, including bricklaying, roofing, digger/dumper driving, scaffolding, plumbing, carpentry etc. etc.... You will also be able to brush up on your French language skills.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.

Hi, we have a “ruin” that needs completely renovating from the ground up, in the centre of France, 1.5 hours north of Limoges airport, 2 hours south of Paris. It is a house/barn in the style of a longere.
The task will involve helping in all aspects of building work from the foundations to roofing with everything in between.
