    Hello, my name is Maryse, I live alone in a large house with a cat. I love nature, I live in a small village in the Dordogne near Bergerac. I am looking to welcome volunteers to help me with DIY, gardening and general house maintenance in exchange for room and board. I have an independent part of the house for visitors, you will be in a quiet and soothing corner. I live near a tourist area where you can discover all the charm of Périgord. I have family around and grown-up children who live in Paris and St Etienne. I am doing this to meet young people and exchange know-how in a good mood.

    You could mow the lawn, pull out the overgrown grass, prune, till the tiller, plant vegetables, water the plants, look after the house while I'm gone, take care of the cat, tidy the garage. I would also like some help with computers from time to time. We can do things together when I'm here.

    Nous pourrons faire des choses ensembles quand je suis là.
