  Description

  Hello, after travelling the world I am now renovating the house I inherited from my great-grand parents.
  
  After 6 months of work we are now at the stage of getting to things easier which doesn’t require much knowledge in renovations. And because I have an extra room, I m looking for someone to help and keep me company while doing the renovations. Furthermore the weather is getting warmer and nicer, so I feel comfortable to host someone in a nice set up. The bed is a twin bed so couples are welcome. I have already friends coming on a weekly base to help but more hands is welcome.
  
  I provide a large room with a bed and some space to store clothes. I live in a rural area of France (Provence) which has a lot of nature. It s a great spot for climbing and cycling for those who fancy this sport. We need to share a bathroom.
  
  Tara is part of the adventure ( my cat) she is very friendly and likes to meet new people.
  
  During your free time I can provide maps with activities to do. And you can use one of my bike. However the area is nicer with a car. My house is reachable by bus.
  
  If you fancy more nature I have a plot of land where you can put a tent but in another village than the one we do the renovation.

  Accommodation

  Big room with bed, tv and closet. Tara tends to hang out in the room during the day so don’t be allergic to cats. The bathroom is just next to the room.
  
  If you want to camp instead I have a tend and a mattress you can use ( but need to drive to the house in the morning).
  
  For cooking I don’t eat pork and don’t want to have it in my house. We can coin and eat together or separately. I’m happy to offer guiding for hikes in the week end.
  
  No smokers :)
