Description
We are a family of 3 who live in South West France near to Fumel in a stone fortified farmhouse set in 50 acres. We are surrounded by chemins to walk or ride around. We are 1.5km from our village that hosts markets and many local events. It is lovely to experience local french markets and culture. We are very lucky, it is a gorgeous place to be. We speak English at home and would love to help anyone who wants to improve their English and experience our culture. We would love to share in your culture too! We work internationally and as a result we would love to share our home in exchange for support with our home, land and animals. We offer lots of opportunity to get involved with our animals and gardens.
