Help
We need help with various jobs: restoring a dry stone wall, lime plastering or maintaining the house and its surroundings. Building a cabin. We have two donkeys, horses, two dogs and a cat, chickens and ducks. We live in a very small hamlet. There is no public transport. We strive to allow you to visit our region as much as possible. Sharing daily life such as helping to prepare meals etc...clearing the table...is part of living together and not a job.
