Description
We are 60 years old, we have 4 children and 7 grand children. We also have 2 dogs. My husband works in Paris but comes every week-end and holidays. I spend winter in Paris and stay from April till septembre in our chateau. The castle is our passion, we love to share it ! There is a lot to do in the 80 rooms and in the park while discovering French way of life in a 17th century castle.
Of course we have local French workers employed for the work related to paying visitors and Workawayers will only be helping towards the private part of our home and family meals !
