    Description

    I am an English nurse, I have lived in south Normandy for five years, developing my gîte business and renovating my beautiful traditional French granite longere and large garden…

    I am developing and evolving a gite business , however I do not need and I am not looking for any help or interaction with this business or with guests.

    I have arthritis in my knee and a chronically injured ankle and I am looking for people who want to spend a few days helping with my own land/ garden..my own home ( housework and diy) and my animals….
    In exchange I can offer a lovely large bedroom with newly renovated wet room..the use of a large fully equipped kitchen a very central location for Normandy attractions and a very tranquil and laid back environment
    A car is essential here…this is rural Normandy with very limited public transport and all shops are too far to walk.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I live in rural south Normandy, I have a large small holding and a gîte business.
    The village was originally built for the granite workers at the 50 plus granit quarries in the area… there is now only one viable quarry and a granite museum.
    The location is ideal and central for all Normandy areas of interest including Mont Saint Michel , Bayeux and the historic Normandy beaches.
