  Hi, I’m a French girl living on my own in a great and a too big for my own self house ! With a big Garden also ! I’m a photographer I was working in the city before and always wanted to come back to my roots in burgundy
  
  I have a great peaceful home with a large view on the countryside the garden is unique and special. I’ve arrived in that house three years ago.. before that the garden wasn’t taking care of .. so since I arrived I had a lot of work to do ! And still going on to reach some of my goals for this wonderful place to live in ……
  
  I have vegetable growing garden, and herbs garden. They are delicious ! we’ll eat them and you will be able to take with you when you’ll leave some growing plant as well …
  I can teach you how to grow a vegetable garden and cooking and about medical herbs also I can teach you about how to cook and keep those veggies different types of options…
  The purpose of the gardens of the house is to provide food sustainability for me and my neighborhood..
  I speak French and fluent English my Spanish is more basic …
  I attend to welcome soon new animals : sheep !!
  I also have 3 cats but dogs can be welcome.. (if they’ve learned how to behave around animals….)
  
  I will need help on building a greenhouse !
  And some help will be needed as well in the garden and later I will need help to look after the animals ..
  Depending on your abilities I can ask for some so help in the house for some tasks or DIY , painting or others things…
  
  I live in a big house with 2 bedrooms in burgundy close by the town of Autun,Nolay and Arnay le Duc. In between the vineyard des côtes de Beaune and the forest of Morvan.
