    Description

    I have been living and running restaurants in Southern Ireland for the past 30 years and have recently bought an old house in Monpazier, the home town of my french partner. He has a small antique business in this busy tourist town and we now want to set up our new home as a small B and B for activity workshops, so we need help to decorate the house, tame the garden and set up the studio. which will be mainly used for Pottery/ceramics but we will also run art courses
    We have installed a swimming pool and our helpers will have use of this and will enjoy great meals cooked by myself

    The area is also seeped in history as we are in the old Bastide town of Monpazier surrounded by Chateaux and the dordogne river, where you can canoe.
