Description
Our names are Laure & Julien, we are a couple in his/her 40s, and are starting a life-changing project. We have no children and we would like to live a simple and true life, close to nature. We speak French and English.
Our project is to refurbish our house, plant trees for a new orchard and grow the vegetables we need for our own food. We need help from workawayers to improve our living environment.

Help
Workawayers will not be asked to help in the production of any good that will be sold to the public, neither in any other business tasks. They will only be asked to provide help in the following tasks that are for our own well-being and consumption:
- DIY in refurbishing of an old farmhouse (scraping old tapestry, painting, redo the attic insulation, redo the ceiling, redo the floor)
- Planting trees (in Fall, we plan to plant fruit trees to restore an orchard)
- Gardening (we have a garden and a small greenhouse for our own vegetable production)
Languages
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
French: Fluent
German: IntermediateThis host offers a language exchange
After traveling as workwayers and wwoofers, we understand the need to learn other languages. It is very helpful to learn from people you share the life as there are opportunities in any moment of the day or in any activity to exchange about the words. We are happy to help with French (our mother tongue) and are both fluent in English.
Accommodation
In a room of the house.
The house is in refurbishment, so not all commodities are up to the standards yet.
3 meals a day will be provided to the workawayers.
What else ...
Walks in nature (forest, river), sight seeing in neighboring towns (a train station is 2 km away from home).
