    Description

    Hello,
    We are an Italian/French family composed by:

    - Dalila is 39 years old, Italian, used to be translator and caterer and now she's working in a hospital's restaurant.

    - Antoine is 35 years old, French, co-manage a comic book publishing company and work as an IT engineer.

    - Emilio is 9 months old, Italian and French, learning to crawl and mostly drinking milk.

    - Lara is 7 years, French, barks to the postman and lies around the garden a lot (she is our dog ;-) ).

    We live in a small but very lively village south of France (Drôme provencale), beautiful surroundings, lots of nature and very good weather.
    During the summer in particular, there isn't a night without a cultural event, but you can also enjoy the quiet mountains and rivers. Hiking, cycling, rock-climbing, yoga are among the most popular activities around.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We both love to travel and experience living together with different people.
    As we are Italian and French, we both give importance to share our meals together, this is the highlight of the day ;)
    Talking about food, Dalila will be happy to share her knowledge about Italian and vegetarian cooking.
    Antoine is more expert on DIY (especially woodworking).
    We could both teach you the basics of our mothetongues.

    We are looking forward to learn about new culture, and we would love for Emilio to meet new people!

    Help

    We bought the house we live in two years ago with some renovation and improvements to do. We already did the most important parts.
    Since Emilio was born, everything got a bit slower around here, except for the baby caring ;-) .
    We are looking for help for the following activites:
    - Taking care of Emilio (particularly for first weeks of August)
    - Helping in the vegetable garden
    - Do DIY in the house (painting, building a henhouse, building a wooden fence, etc.)
    - If you like to cook vegetarian meals, you'll be welcome to contribute
    - If you're up to it, we'd love some help for the housekeeping
    Depending on the task and on our schedule we will work alltogether or you will be on your own (with all information needed given before hands). We work really close from home and Antoine can be available pretty quickly if needed.
    Antoine has a pretty good experience in the DIY.
    We are pretty new in the garden's business.
    But we like to teach and will be happy to share our experiences.

    We are vegetarians and like to cook, but we don't always have time to cook recently, so your contribution wil be much appreciated. We plan to share meals together.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We have a tiny swimming pool in the garden, and 7 minutes away by foot is the public open air swimming pool.

    Starting from the house there is many hiking and cycling paths. 15min away by car there is a river where you can refresh yourself.

    In the village (8 minutes by foot), there is a library, bookshop, café, bar, restaurants etc.
    During the summer, you can enjoy many activities like concerts and parties.

    Depending on the situation, we can lend you our car and our bikes.
    There is a bus going to the nearest town where you can take the train.
