Details

  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 English country 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…. I seem to be amassing a small cat sanctuary with French abandoned and rescued kittens…the current count is six cats and two kittens.
  In exchange for your work 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.
