    Description

    (Availabilities 2026 as from January)

    We have a big house here in Verrières le Buisson, to welcome workawayers, and up untill now it has been a fantastic experience, cultural exchange and way to help each other. We would love to raise our level of english, and german, and ...other suggestions ?

    We are a family of two (my kid and I) , willing to open ourselves to a village spirit.

    We love to be inspired by great cooking talents, and share some musical and poetry evenings.

    A few important things.We are a low-tech home: no phone or computer in the kitchen or living room, to keep these spaces peaceful and screen-free.

    We enjoy fresh food, music, creativity, sports (basket, tennins, skate board, Aikido, and meaningful conversations.

    Everything here is based on trust, respect, and sharing, faithful to the workaway spirit.

    If you have questions or want to know more, feel free to contact me.
    We would be very happy to welcome someone open-minded, musical, creative, and enthusiastic to share a beautiful positive cultural exchange with us.
