    Description

    I am the operator of a beautiful guest house in Périgord. We left Paris in 2017 to radically change our quality of life. There are 3 of us (with our cat Félix) and we share our house with all passing guests. Périgord is one of the most beautiful French countryside and the heritage there is exceptional; you can therefore visit villages, prehistoric caves, abbey churches, castles; swim in the Vézère or the Dordogne; go hiking, horsing, cycling or canoeing; attend all the cultural events held throughout the summer (concerts, escape games, arts and crafts, etc.).
    Each time we go out, we will invite you to join us.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    In the summer we welcome many friends and over 60% foreign tourists with whom we interact a lot. For a workawayer, it will be a perfect opportunity to meet and discuss with people from different cultures, to learn and/or practice the French language, to put your English to good use. I chose this activity and transformed this house to share it with our guests and share with them everything we love (places, restaurants, activities,...). Since opening summer 2019, we have only had excellent reviews
    You will be with me on a daily basis for all things to do, to be trained in running a luxury guest house, and will have access to the entire house.
