  • Description

    Description

    We are a Franco-English family living in the beautiful little town of Beziers on the Canal du Midi. We live right in the centre of town, close to all amenities, and we are around a 15 minute drive from our nearest beach.

    We live in a large town house and we are pretty disorganised people so we’d love to find an organised workaway who could help us sort out our house and garage (and all the stuff we have lying around everywhere) which are pretty messy and need sorting before the summer holidays.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are from the UK and French Caribbean so we can offer a multicultural experience at our house, with the occasional Antillais dinner.
    We would be happy to show our Workaway some of the local hotspots and to help them discover our region.
    We would also love to learn about different cultures and cuisine from places we don’t know so well so it would be great to host people from different parts of the world.

  • Help

    Help

    We are looking for a Workaway who has good organisation skills and can help us find a system in our home so that everything has a place.

    We also have a very messy garage that we need to empty and clean. This will require us to take some trips to the dechetterie together. We will need help lifting things into the car.

    We would also like to clear up and clean our small terrace before the summer holidays.

    ‼️The garage is dark and messy, and we do have some mice in there so it would not be suitable for someone who has a phobia of mice ‼️

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    It’s important to know that we have two small kids aged 3 and 4, so the house can be lively. If you don’t like spending time with young kids, this probably isn’t the place for you.
    We live in the centre of town in an area which is a little run down but very safe.
    In terms of getting around, everything in town is accessible by foot. We live right next to the main park and all the shops , bars and restaurants are just minutes away. A little boulangerie is 30 seconds from the house and a small supermarket 2 minutes.
    We will be happy to show you some places in the car but if you want to go to the beach by yourself, there are regular buses from the bus station which is 10 mins away. The train station is 10 min walk through the park.

    We can be flexible in terms of hours worked and timings but children are home from school around 5 and it gets a little hectic then.
