    Description

    I live in the Auvergne countryside, among cows and volcanoes. My daughter's are adults. The house is big but so is the garden! I'm having trouble doing all the outdoor tasks. I'm also a host on a rental site and I'm used to having guests over. I will be happy to discuss and discover the particularities of my region. I speak a little English. There is also a cat at home.
    ==============
    Je vis dans la campagne auvergnate, au milieu des vaches et des volcans. Mes filles sont grandes et la plus jeune fait ses études à Lyon. La maison est grande et le jardin aussi ! J'ai du mal à faire tous les travaux d'extérieur. Je suis également hôte et j'ai l'habitude d'avoir des voyageurs à la maison. J'aurai plaisir à échanger et faire découvrir les particularités de ma région bien que je ne sois pas très disponible. Je parle un peu l'anglais. À la maison, il y a aussi un chat.

  • Help

    Help

    I need a motivated person to weed and clean the garden. I regularly need help with a thorough house cleaning in preparation for renting it out. A handy person could also be useful for odd jobs around the house, depending on your skills.
    During the school year, I'm only available for part of the weekend and I usually get home around 6 pm. You'll need to be independent, and I'd be very happy if you could prepare dinner :)
    It would be best if you arrived on Friday or during the weekend so we have time to discuss your tasks.
    During school holidays (Zone A), I'm much more available, but I have to coordinate with other guests' schedules. In any case, I'd like your stay to be a maximum of 10 days.
    ==============
    Dates idéales pour moi :
    23 mai au 5 juin.
    4 au 12 juillet
    ==============
    J'ai besoin d'une personne motivée pour désherber et nettoyer le jardin. J'ai régulièrement besoin d'aide pour nettoyer la maison à fond en vue de la louer. Une personne bricoleuse peut également être utile pour des travaux dans la maison, à voir en fonction de vos compétences.
    Sur le temps scolaire, je ne suis disponible qu'une partie du WE et je rentre généralement vers 18h. Tu devras donc être autonome et je serai très heureuse si tu prépares le repas du soir :)
    il est souhaitable que tu arrives le vendredi ou pendant le WE pour que nous ayons le temps de fixer tes missions.
    Durant les vacances scolaires (zone À) je suis beaucoup plus disponible mais je dois composer avec les séjours des voyageurs... Dans tous les cas, je souhaite que la durée de ton séjour soit de 10 jours maximum.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You will have a bedroom upstairs with a shared bathroom.
    Regarding meals, I like to eat fresh products and I eat everything. If you are vegetarian, no worries. On the other hand, there are no halal or kosher products in local stores... I will ask you for a little help in the kitchen and I will be happy to discover typical dishes from your place.
    ==============
    Tu auras une chambre à l'étage avec une salle de bain partagée.
    Concernant les repas, j' aime manger des produits frais et je mange de tout. Si tu es végétarien, pas de soucis. En revanche, il n'y a pas de produits halal ou casher dans les magasins locaux... Je te demanderai un petit coup de main en cuisine et je serai heureuse de découvrir des plats typiques de chez toi.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    My village is quite isolated and there is no easily accessible public transport. A car is preferable but I can lend a bike and there are lovely hikes to do from the house.
    ==============
    Mon village est assez isolé et il n'y a pas de transports publics faciles d'accès. Une voiture est préférable mais je peux prêter un vélo et il y a de jolies randonnées à faire à partir de la maison.
