Description
Hi,
we are a little happy family : Raphael and Marie 46, Gabriel our 9 years old boy and Adele our 7 years old little girl. We live in a small village called Mezos, south west of France, 10 minutes driving from the atlantic coast where the waves are great for surfing and the wild sandy beaches endless ! cycling, kite surfing, skateboarding, hiking, do some canoe are some of the activities you can enjoy nearby.
We live a quite place of 3000 square meters ending by a river under the trees, with an organic vegetable garden and an orchards. A nice place to chill out.
We are a open minded family with kids used to meet new people and parents happy to share part of their life with others. Marie might be working a lot as a journalist meanwhile i (raphael) will try to deal with the handy tasks .
We would be happy to know a bit more about you, your culture, your country and tell you about our.
We are looking for someone to help us with the house inside and outside.
We look for people who love kids and love to play with them, to spend time with them and learn them some things.
And please if you want to spend time with us, use lightly your smartphone, we try to learn real life and sharing to our kids so, gamers and phone-web addicts should find another place.
After some bad experience, we prefer to tell, even if it should be quite natural, that every body have to participate with the dishes, the cleaning and the global tasks of the house, we're not a hotel-restaurant.
Our location is 1 hour from Bayonne and Biarritz two nice cities, 1 hour from the beautifull sandy "dune du pyla" and Arcachon, 1,5 hour from the well known wine capital of Bordeaux and two hours from the summits of Pyrenees.
Get your own car is a necessity to discover those nice places.
See you soon !

We had so much fun with them, loved their pure and simple lifestyle, got to learn so many things! We became really close to eachother in just a couple of days.… read more
