  Description

  My husband and I own a large home on 27 hectares of land in the Correze region of France. The home is located in the environs of Tulle and Argentat.
  We are a fun loving couple in our early sixties and have grown children and grandchildren who live abroad. We have spent our lives living and working all over the world and I speak 5 languages while my my husband speaks 3.
  We require assistance with a range of gardening, house tasks and small repairs. A drivers license is preferable and a car can be made available. We have all the tools and gardening equipment required and the Workawayers will be housed in a separate private, recently renovated residence very close to the chateau.
  We are located in a picturesque medieval village and after 45 years of hard work, we are now retired.
  There is much to see and do in the area and we also have a large pool which can be used by workawayers after a good day's work.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We will be helping alongside the workawayers. The house is often full of guests and family, and we welcome the workawayers at our table and by the pool. As an Australian married to a French/American, we have family all over the world and are very much used to welcoming people from different cultures. We can show the workawayers some of the beautiful sights around us. Transport can also be provided if needed and there are plenty of bikes to use.

  Help

  The workawayers will spend some of their workday in the garden, weeding, hedge-trimming, lawnmowing, tree pruning, pool cleaning etc. All the tools needed are available. There are also some interesting small eco and infrastructure projects to be done for those with that experience. It is a large property and there is always something needing doing. We will often be helping alongside you. If the weather is poor, there might be some painting or other small tasks to be done in the main house.
