Description
Bonjour! I am a Dutch lady (50+), living in Normandy, France since 2022. I live on a small farm with some cats, 2 old ponies and 4 donkeys.
My house is over 300 years old and needs some TLC. I am looking for some help with renovations, gardening, and taking care of the animals when I am absent for short periods.
Workawayers will stay in separate guesthouse.

Enjoy the outdoors of Manche, Normandy. My farm is situated between the green fields with lovely bocage trees, typpical for this area.
Practise your English, German or Dutch. Maybe you can help me to improve my french or learn me some Spanish.
In the past, i have worked in several different countries with local people. I enjoyed to exchange experiences with them and also to cook together and learn more about each other's local recipies.
I can teach you some real dutch cooking, but also how to take care of ponies and donkeys.
Iam also a veteran and certified horse coach.

Small renovations, like painting, simple woodworks, gardening (restore old vegetable garden) and sometimes taking care of the animals.
