Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are located in a really nice environment, in the forest and vineyard. The place is peaceful. the first neighbour house is at 300 meters from our. We are used to travel, be hosted and also host travellers : we like cultural exchange. We are both (Geraldine and Romain) from different countries (Mauritius and France) and like mixity. We want to share time and activities with travellers.
We usually have some activities during the week end, mostly in nature : walking in the forest/mountains, going to lakes or the sea. We are able to take one traveller with us only in our car.
This is nice place if you want to have walk or of you like running in the forest.

Help
We are looking firstly to develop culture exchange with travellers. We also would like our children to be in contact with native speakers other than french language, mainly english one. We are looking for people who would be happy to take care / play with the children in english potentially for one to two hours per day (5 days a week). And also potentially help in the house for different activities : sharing cooking with us, gardening / plantation, help in the house (no more than 2 hours per day). These activities depend on your willingness to perform one or another activity.
We are everyday at home : Geraldine is working at home (chinese traditional medicine). Isaia and Maelan are going to baby school (4 and 3 days a week) and Romain is working at another place (5 days a week) but present mostly every afternoon/night.

Accommodation
The house is large (200 square meters) and the garden/forest (5000 square meters). We are located between vineyard and green area (forest and hills).
We have a dedicated room for the workawayers (2 persons maximum) with a 2 persons sofa/bed. You will share with us the toilet and the bath room.
There is a open kitchen on a living room where whe spent most of our time when we are indoor.
Travellers will have their own privacy but could also share more time with us if wanted.
We also have a wolfdog (kaya) which is really nice.
What else ...
As it is a peaceful place, it is a little bit isolated. From the house you can have several walks around in the mountain. If you want to visit larger cities, you should take a bus or have your own car.
