  Description

  Good morning.
  
  We are a small family (1 adult and 2 children) and we live in the Breton countryside. We are of Portuguese origin but we are comfortable in French and English. The house is on a longère, an old renovated farm divided in four individual renting appartements. The property also includes an orchard where we have our vegetable garden.
  There is plenty of garden space, a trampoline and a garage.
  
  I would welcome someone available and motivated to help around with the children aged 8 and 13 and also the garden.
  
  We also have a project in a land with friends 15 minutes from the house....the goal to bring back to life an old farm with an associative character where there are vegetable gardens and a forest garden. Maybe one day become an awareness vegetable garden for activities with children and therapy for people in difficulty or isolated.
  
  Our main objective is to get to know and share between people of different cultures and ages. We try our best to leave you comfortable between us. See you soon!! ;)
  
  Bonjour.
  
  On est une petite famille (1 adulte et 2 enfants) et on habite dans la campagne bretonne. On est d origine portugaise mais on est à l aise en français et anglais.
  La maison est sur un longère, une ancienne ferme rénovée divisé en 4 maisons individuelles en location. La propriété comprend également un verger ou on fait notre potager. Il y a plein de espace en jardin, un trampoline et une garage.
  
  Je souhaite accueillir des gens disponibles et motivés pour donner un coup the main avec l éducation de mes 2 enfants et aussi dans le jardin.
  
  On a aussi un projet avec des amis à 15min de la maison....au tour de refaire vivre une ancienne ferme à caractere associatif ou il y a des potagers et un jardin foret. Peut etre un jour devenir un potager de sensibilization pour des animations avec les enfants et therapeutique pour des personnes en situation de difficulté ou isolés.
  
  Notre objectif principal c'est de faire connaissance et partage entre personnes de différents cultures et d' âges.
  On essaye notre mieux pour vous laisser à l'aise entre nous.
  
  À bientôt!! ;)
