Description
> ENGLISH
We are located in the northern Gironde region, with varied landscapes. Our house overlooks the Isle River and we are surrounded by woods, meadows, vineyards, and a young olive grove.
We have been married for 25 years. I am a nurse, and Henri works on a winery. Our children are 22 and 24 years old: Pauline is a Master's student in Atmospheric Science, and Léo is a PE teacher who is currently a Workawayer abroad! He recommended this concept to us, both to have help in and around the house and to create moments of conviviality and togetherness!
We have a lovely wooden cabin (self-contained) near the house, equipped with a rustic bathroom and a cozy dining and sleeping area.

Nous sommes dans le nord gironde, les paysages sont variés, notre maison surplombe la rivière de l'Isle et nous sommes entourés de bois, de prés, de vignes et d'une jeune plantation d'oliviers.
Mariés depuis 25 ans, pour ma part infirmière, Henri travaille sur une exploitation viticole. Nos enfants ont 22 et 24 ans, Pauline une étudiante en Master science de l' atmosphère et Léo un enseignant d'EPS qui est lui même actuellement Workawayer à l'étranger ! C'est lui qui nous a conseillé de faire appel à ce concept pour - à la fois - avoir une aide dans, et, autour de la maison, et pour créer des moments de partage en toute convivialité !
Nous avons une jolie cabane en bois (autonome) proche de la maison équipée d'une salle de bain rustique et d'un coin repas et nuit cosy.Types of help and learning opportunities
