  Help

  We expect from travellers to help us to maintain or gain language skills, speaking English, German or Spanish with us. We would like to meet people from other cultures, and arouse the curiosity/open the mind of our son towards other ways of life / languages....
  Since my partner and I work full-time, our guest would be free to explore the surrounding area from Monday to Friday, and we'd like him/her to be able to leave the house at the same time as us in the morning around 8:30 a.m. However, we would be happy to meet him/her from 6 p.m. at home to spend the evening together as a family (diner, board games, chatting, etc.).
  It might then be more comfortable for our guest if he/she had a car, as we live in the countryside. Our guest would therefore need to be independent for his/her lunch.
  On weekends, however, we would be very happy to spend all day with our guest: fruit picking, chestnut shelling, cleaning the chicken coop, weeding, preparing the meals etc., all while chatting in a good mood!

  Accommodation

  The helper would have a private room but would share the bathroom, toilets and rest of the house with us. We would only welcome non-smoking travellers.

• 

  What else ...

  There is a wake park on the Buhel lake 3 kms from the house, with also a small beach where it is allowed to swim and fish. A tree climbing park "Escapades Verticales" and a go-kart circuit "Solokart" are available nearby. The Nantes - Brest Canal is not far from our house and we are leaving 1 hour from Nantes and from the ocean (with a car).
