Description
Hi ! We are a little family living in Gers ( west south of France) for 2 years now. My wife Christine is a cook speciallised in vietnamese food where she is originally from. I am chef too in a traditionnal french restaurant. We have 3 daughters but only the small one ( 8 years old) is living with us now in our big old country house that we love.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
Babysitting and creative play
General Maintenance
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Farmstay help
Help around the house
Animal Care
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are cook now but my wife used to be a fashion designer and I was working in fashion photography before.
So, today, we might say that we love culture, but also farm works to get closer to nature and teach that to our daughter and anybody else... I think we have many different thinking to share about local art culture, about organic food and also about gardening and animals from our farm.
Help
We have a lot of space, a big garden and some animals too. We are looking for someone helping us for animals ( 1dog, 3 Cats, about 20 chickens and around 10 lovely pigs). We need someone ready to help us also with painting and refreshing our house, inside and outside. We are looking too for someone baby-sitting our 8 years old girl, exchanging différent langages. We also have an organic garden to take care of.
It's quite difficult to get bored with us...

Workaway has the potential to make the world feel small at one moment, as you’re welcomed into a home and made to feel accepted and cared for; only then to eject you back on your way, with the nostalgia of what you’ve just lived already making its way in. I felt this upon leaving Jerome and Christine’s piece of Les Gers, tartine and chocolate… read more

This was by far my best workaway experience. Jerome and Christine are the coolest, most fun hosts you could ask for and I had an amazing time staying with them for two and a half weeks. The conversations are super interesting, their daughter is adorable, the food is amazing, there was never a boring day! It was super hard to say goodbye. I highly… read more

I spent about a month with Christine, Jerome and Diane as my first workaway experience ever. I really couldn't have asked for anything better. They are so welcoming and kind; I felt very comfortable with them and their friends and family. Get ready to eat (A LOT) of good Vietnamese/ french food and to play "horses" with Diane! I definitely suggest… read more

We stayed with Jerome and Christine for 10 days and I can't reccommend them highly enough! We felt like part of the family, everyone was so welcoming and friendly. The work for us was mostly painting, it was very relaxed and at our own pace. Christine and Jerome are both chefs, so the food was always amazing and plentiful. And big family dinners… read more
