    Description

    I live in a huge house in Hénanbihen it's nearby Lamballe Armor Brittany, France

    I live 3 hours from Paris and 15 minutes from beautiful beaches like Sables-d'or-les-pins (Google it)

    My house is in the middle of a big garden of 7 hectares full of big trees.

    I have 2 dogs, a goat, and chickens.

    I have 6 children and 13 grandchildren who visit during the year. They don't live with me.

    There are beautiful places to visit where I live: Saint-Malo, Mont Saint Michel, and lovely beaches all along the coast.

    I also have a big swimming pool that people can use if they want and a great outdoor space for running/doing exercise

    I also have bikes and a car that Workawayers can use to go nearby.

    Last but not least, I'm very easy-going and kind :)

    Help

    Living alone I am happy to welcome people who can help in the garden and/or in the house. Basically, the workawayer can decide what he/she would prefer to do.

    I am happy to have them help inside or outside the house.

    I would appreciate Workawayers helping around 5 hours/day from Monday - Friday... but they can choose when they want to work.

    Knowing how to use a chainsaw and cutting wood can be helpful but cooking and cleaning are much appreciated.

    What else ...

    During their time off workawayers can enjoy Brittany, can catch a train to Paris or Rennes, or just enjoy the garden and the pool.
