  Description

  Welcome to our serene retreat, nestled amidst forests, where tranquility and natural beauty abound, yet has easy and quick access to Paris. Our home features a lovely garden and a tennis court for your enjoyment. The local area has lots of incredible local and farmed produce. We are two musicians who often travel. Something important you should consider is that we practice our instruments on a daily basis during the day. We have two grand pianos, which you can play and practice on, if you would like.

  Help

  We will need help with gardening, cleaning up weeds and trimming the plants/grass.
  We also need help with some bigger projects around the outside of the house, such as repainting some parts of the pool house.
  There is a gardening shed that needs to be re-organized and tidied up.
  There is a large project on our list, which is to insulate part of the shed and turn it into a small guest house.
  
  We would like to ask help with the weeding, which can be quite a lot depending on the season. We would expect that you would work around 4 hours per day, if there’s that much work in the garden (it of course depends on the time of the year).
