Description
Hi!
We are Dick, Ellen and Jill and we are originally from Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Since the beginning of this year (2022) we’ve been moving into this beautiful country and we live with two dogs, two cats and we have 7 chickens.
Our home is situated in a little, beautiful village and we do have a wonderful, panoramic view on Draguignan (a city 5 km from our village).
We are a happy, dynamic family and love to be outside, to enjoy all of the Wonderfull wines that France has to offer and are also into good conversations, music and sharing happiness.
Types of help and learning opportunities

Creating/ Cooking family meals
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We will be happy to help you with your Dutch, English and even a little bit in French!
Also, Dick is a technicien so if you’d like to learn anything, please do not hesitate and ask.
We’ve been calling him ‘Handy Harry’ and that’s not just for no reason ;-)
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We have a terrain of 6000m2 and is situated across a forest, so there’s space enough and you’ll wake up with the sound of little singing birds.
For us, this life is a pleasure and we would love to share it with people who appreciate the calmness, a bit of an adventurous live but also is someone who would like to join our table and to enjoy this life with us for a little while.
The projects include gardening/weeding and land clearing. Which means generally that we are looking for someone who can help us to remove bushes/shrubs, manage the terrain, to remove stones and maintain our remnants.
To the side of the property, you will find wireless internet, a hot shower and a lot of privacy in your own chalet (or bell tent) and your own space.
