Description
Hello, my name is Alain,
I'm originally from Switzerland and I've lived in Tartane for over 20 years.
I host travelers in a large house with a garden and several guest accommodations.
I don't have any paid staff on site
What I offer Workawayers:
A cultural exchange stay:
3 hours of help per day, 5 days a week, in exchange for private accommodation.
Tasks are geared towards learning and support:
garden maintenance, small DIY projects, helping to welcome visitors, and sharing local practices. Workawayers will not replace paid staff; they will be supported and, if desired, trained for certain tasks to learn new skills.
Information
- Location:
Tartane is part of La Trinité.
The house is a 5-minute walk from a small beach called La Brèche.
Anse l'Étang beach is 15 minutes away, and Surfers' Beach is 30 minutes away.
Shops and restaurants are within walking distance.
Buses run during the week, but a car is recommended to explore more of the island.
- Conditions:
No staff replacement tasks; strict adherence to local labor laws.
Contact me if you have any questions,
I would be happy to discuss your expectations and what you would like to learn
Wi-Fi is available, and it is possible to rent a vehicle on-site.
Bicycles will also be available soon.
Bonjour

conversations quotidiennes, découverte de la vie insulaire, balades sur la presqu’île de la Caravelle, pratique du français si vous le souhaitez. Planche de surf a dispo, il y a souvent des surfeurs qui logent chez moi et un esprit Zen règne sur la maison.
- Partage de savoirs :
je peux vous transmettre mes connaissances sur la région, le jardin, la faune locale l’entretien de la maison et des recettes de cuisine antillaises.

souvent un apéritif ou un repas est annoncé et ensembles, Workawayers et clients sont invités à se joindre selon leur envie, pour partager de bons moments et se sentir intégrés a la famille.
