Terry and I (Sue) moved to France 10 years ago and live deep in the beautiful Aude countryside with open views to the Pyrenees in a converted stone barn (all our own work). We have also renovated the original fermette which we use as family holiday accommodation and as a gite. We love the outdoor life and regularly walk the Pyrennean foothills along with our lovely chocolate labrador, Freddie. We have about 2 acres of grounds, including a lovely swimming pool.

We would be happy to let our volunteers have use of our fermette, which is a large house, sleeping 9, and has just about everything.
Our property is rural. Nearest towns for shopping, including marvelous markets are Mirepoix and Castelnaudary - both 15 minute drive away. The wonderful city of Carcassonne is a 30 minute drive away.
We are happy to provide lunch and dinner each day - good home grown, home prepared food. Vegetarians can be catered for (Sue doesn't eat meat).
