    Description

    Hello, I live in the countryside on a farm on the banks of the Rhône in the Ain (Groslée-Saint Benoit 01300) . I have travelled a lot, I speak fluent English, a little Spanish and wanted to drop off my suitcases in this beautiful corner of Bugey. The surrounding nature, waterfalls, rivers bring serenity and many opportunities for hiking.

    Bonjour, je vis à la campagne dans une ferme au bord du Rhône dans l'Ain (Groslée-Saint Benoit 01300). J'ai beaucoup voyagé, je parle couramment anglais, un peu l'espagnol et ai souhaité déposer mes valises dans ce magnifique coin du Bugey. La nature environnante, les cascades, rivières apportent sérénité et nombreuses opportunités de randonner.

    I like to share time with friends, there is an active associative life around the farm with breweries, concert halls. After a good meal, it is easy to find magnificent hikes in the Bugey where rivers, lakes and waterfalls offer to refresh you! I like to hike, to go wild plant picking. I would be happy to introduce you to botany and my favorite spots.

    J'aime partager du temps entre amis, il y a une vie associative active autour de la ferme avec des brasseries, des salles de concerts. Après un bon repas, il est facile de trouver de magnifiques randonnées dans le Bugey où rivières, lacs et cascades proposent de vous rafraîchir ! J'aime randonner, partir en cueillette de plantes sauvages. J'aurais plaisir à vous faire découvrir la botanique et mes coins préférés.

    As a self-employed worker, it is complicated for me to carry out everything at the same time. I need help with the garden. There is pruning to do, wood cutting and the assembly of a small greenhouse of 12m2 to prepare for the arrival of the plants. I am in the process of finishing the work on my new transformation workshop. There will be some minor finishing touches like painting. If you have DIY skills, this is a plus because there is still a little finishing to be done in the house. Mounting shelves, hanging pictures...

    Travailleuse indépendante, il est compliqué pour moi de tout mener de front. J'ai besoin d'aide pour l'entretien du jardin. Il y a de l'élagage à faire, de la coupe de bois et le montage d'une petite serre de 12m2 pour préparer l'arrivée des plantes. Je suis en train de terminer les travaux de mon nouvel atelier de transformation. Il va y avoir des petits travauax de finitions comme de la peinture. Si vous avez des compétences en bricolage c'est un plus car il reste un peu de finition à faire dans la maison. Montage d'étagères, tableaux à accrocher....
