  Description

  I live here in an old farmhouse with several cats. I live a simple life but our garden and potager (veg patch)is in desperate need of help! The house is always in need of maintenance, so help here would be great. I love the peace and quiet of this little piece of French heaven and having the swimming pool is a wonderful bonus (if you like swimming! Obv in the summer months!)

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I live in beautiful rural France - far from the Madding Crowd! and on the border between the Deux-Sevres and the Vendée. Lovely market towns close by and La Rochelle and the Île de Ré an hour and 15mins away by car.
  Second Sunniest Area of France - with at least 2,600 hours of sunshine a year, the department of Deux Sevres, along with neighbouring Vendée, is second only to the South of France as the sunniest area of France.
  Walking, cycling, fishing all close by and the Marais Poitevin (Green Venice) with its beautiful canals is 40 minutes away where you can explore the waterways by boat.
