Description
We are looking for support from approximately July 10, 2025 to August 20, 2025. The ideal candidate will be someone who enjoys caring for children and adolescents, who enjoys horse riding and has a driver's license.
We run an association that cares for "different" children and teenagers. These "different" people have the right to happiness, and we help them find their place on our estate. We also train them in horse riding. We can host workwayers for several months so they can learn French, ride and progress on horseback, and live in a community with children and teenagers who need emotional and educational support.

Individual bedroom and bathroom, or even individual flat.
The workawayer will eat with us at every meal at the common table; we love to cook, so he/she will have the chance to enjoy carefully prepared dishes. And food is obviously offered in exchange for help.
What else ...
Our estate is located in the Périgord region, one of the richest in the world in terms of historical, culinary, and cultural heritage. Numerous tourist attractions (Rocamadour, Lascaux, etc.) are located within 80 kilometers, as are some of the most beautiful villages in France (Baynac and Cazenac, for example). Numerous sporting activities (kayaking, climbing, cycling, etc.) are also available on the estate and in the surrounding area.
