We've bought February 2021 a 1930s house to renovate. We prefer to do the work with people who have good wibes in them. And it is even more true in these special times, when the human being is a little forgotten.
During the year, we have very diverse tasks to share: wood work, plaster recovery and painting, garden, but also cooking, board games, music, DIY with our girls, etc!
We'll be regulary accompanied by professionals, for an efficient work. However, if you are skilled in the art or if you already have a good experience in renovation, you will be one of our favorites :))

Nous avons acheté en février 2021 une maison des années 1930 à rénover. Nous préférons faire les travaux avec des personnes qui ont de bonnes wibes en eux. Et c'est encore plus vrai en ces temps spéciaux, où l'humain est un peu oublié.
Au cours de l'année, nous avons des tâches très diverses à partager : peinture, ponçage, plâtre, jardin, entretien extérieur et intérieur, mais aussi cuisine, jeux de société, musique, DIY avec nos filles, etc !
Nous sommes régulièrement accompagnés de professionnels, pour un travail efficace. Cependant, si tu es du métier ou si tu as déjà une bonne expérience en rénovation, tu feras partie de nos chouchous :)) (mention spéciale pour les maçons, les charpentiers et les plaquistes :)Languages

We enjoy those days together. She was patient to talk with our daughters (and us !!). She loves cooking, so she manages everything in the kitchen during her stay, what was perfect for me. She is autonomous and very helpfull.
Hope to see you again.

À notre arrivée, le courant passe tout de suite, et nous commençons rapidement un bœuf musical, chantant et dansant, mélangeant enfants et adultes. Plusieurs fois après le repas, après avoir dit « pfiou on est fatigués, on ne va pas tarder à aller se coucher », on se surprend à… read more
Je voudrais vous raconter mon expérience chez Gaëlle, Alex, Élea et Luna.
La maison est clouée entre grosses montagnes à côté de la rivière. Pédant les deux semaines que j’ai restées chez eux, j’ai eu ma chambre et salle de bain. Ils m’ont offert toutes les commodités qu’ils avaient.
Nous avons bien profité le temps que nous avons eu… read more
