Description
In the middle of a village yet only 20 minutes from Beziers, our house needs your help. The salt water pool complete yet some more decking is required. The house is amazing but requires maintenance, decorations etc. The Gite needs a little more work but I basically need a pair of hands or 4. I have lived here with my wife for 4 years and embrace the culture with the locals who are incredible. All amenities are within walking distance, bars, coffees, boulangerie, butcher, wine sales and Carrefour. Beziers is 20 minutes on the bus, very easy to airport or 1 hr to Montpellier. I have a beautiful black labrador and we walk every day with a long hike every week to explore new areas. There is SO much to see and do. I regularly entertain and have friends and family to stay with 4 children of my own, now all in their 20's and working in London.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
From my experiences over the last 4 years, you get out what you put in. Get out and about, meet the locals because they want to meet you. The Cathar fortifications are all around with incredible towns and cities to visit. Or a trip to the beaches which are only 25 minutes by car. My passion is food and wine and therefore I love to entertain, locals and travellers and you can be involved, we have had some amazing characters to stay and return.

James's house is very cozy, the work is very diverse, there is always a lot of opportunity to help around, and I get a fulfillment from those projects, e.g. collecting 55kgs olives in 2 hours or doing the painting!
James and Alex are very easy going and fun people. And Luna is a lovely friend🐕 too. … read more
