    Description

    ==========
    Ideally, we are looking for someone who is available for two or three weeks between mid-September and mid-October.
    ==========

    My name is Carine and my husband’s name is Christophe. We are a French family with three children: our special daughter Emma, who is 22, Léonie, who is 20, and Azélie, who is 16.

    We also have a lovely Golden Retriever named Ondine.

    We are a family who really enjoys outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing, cycling, and much more. We usually go hiking once a week in one of the breathtaking mountains that surround us.

    When it rains, we enjoy staying at home and cooking delicious traditional dishes, especially with lots of wonderful local cheese! 😊

    We are looking for a Workawayer who would like to help us with different projects around our home, including gardening, outdoor maintenance, small DIY projects, and some indoor maintenance.

    In return, we will be very happy to show them our beautiful region, our way of life and our amazing mountains. We would also be delighted to help them learn French and introduce them to the delicious culinary specialties of Haute-Savoie, especially our wonderful local cheeses! 😊
