    Description

    I am renovating an old stone house in the upper Aude valley. I need help with the exteriors. Clearing, planting fruit trees, building terraces to cultivate on sloping ground, restoring a well, building dry toilets, wood shelters, greenhouse... I can accommodate 4 people in winter (in bedrooms) and more. been in a tent. I was a host mother and teacher of French as a foreign language for students coming to learn French

    Je suis une sexagénaire qui rénove une vieille maison en pierre dans la haute vallée de l'Aude.
    J'ai besoin d'aide pour les extérieurs. Défricher, planter des arbres fruitiers, construire des terrasses pour cultiver sur un terrain en pente, restaurer un puit, construire des toilettes sèches, abris bois, serre...
    Je pourrais accueillir 4 personnes l'hiver (dans des chambres) et plus l'été en tente.
    J'ai été mère d'accueil et professeur de français langue étrangère pour étudiants venant apprendre le fran
    çais.
    Pour l'instant je me partage entre la Côte d'Azur (j'habite à 3 minutes à pied de la plage) et l'Aude
