  Description

  hi,
  we are a french family owning a very old country hollidays family 's house in Charente, south west. A lot of history and a lot of renovation since 350 years. We love family time, nice food, swimming, laughing, biking, horse ridding ...and working together. I'm Isabelle, one of the family, living 5 km away from this family house, and i've travelling a lot and workawaying myself. We thought, it was a ggod idear and a perfect place to offer to futur workawayers. Many things to do, all sorts, gardening, building and maintenance, cooking, shopping, depends of what you can offer. Sometimes, it would full house and you can help us but, if you are independant and if you are ok spending time by yourself, it's possible too.
