  Description

  We are a family of 4 living in the Charente Maritime. We own a large house where we host students learning English and host occasional bed and breakfast guests. We are all interested in meeting new people and enjoy fresh food and activities in the garden include growing vegetables and raising our own chickens and ducks. We have 4 french bulldogs who are gentle and love to play. During the off season times, we are hoping to continue to renovate and maintain the extensive house and garden, we appreciate workaways skills and look forward to showing you our hospitality and welcome you to our home. Please note all works are for the families benefit and not for commercial purposes.
