    Description

    Hello, we live in the Loire Valley in a beautiful natural setting. We just bought an old stone farmhouse that had been converted in a guesthouse, and we have a project of having a place that is focused on plants and wellbeing. I love plants and dances (I'm certified in aromatherapy, herbal healing and trained in ecstatic dance facilitation, as well as plant based cooking), and my friend is a former cook/DJ and permaculture gardener. We are currently renovating the place and want to create a medieval inspired permaculture garden. All this is a lot of work and we need help on the private side of the house too, which is why we are publishing this add.

    We need all kinds of help in our private part: moving things, creating a cupboard, making meals (without dairy, I'm allergic), arranging our private part so it is livable, taking care of the animals (cat, dog and goat), helping to create our private permaculture garden, cleaning ... You will not be asked to help with the business part of the guesthouse.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We offer an independent room on ground level with a bed for two and two bunk beds, a table and chairs, and a bathroom with a shower. Camping is also an option.

    We would like food to be a collective affair for the noon meal, where visitors or us contribute in alternance to the preparation of the food whenever possible (we both love cooking and discovering new dishes, my friend is a former cook), but it can also be only you, dependin on what you wish to help with. If you are the one cooking, we can do the actual buying if you provide a list of what you need weekly. We will provide for breakfast in any case, and for dinner we tend to use whatever is left in the fridge. Please note that I am allergic to dairy so if you tend to rely heavily on butter, cream, yogurt, milk and cheese when you cook, well, you won't do much cooking for us lol
