    Description

    We are a family of 4 from Wales in the UK. We decided to move to France in 2018. We live in a rural part of Mid France, in a field, in a mobile home. We are building a house.

    We would love a French speaking traveller or Travellers to help with our language learning but would welcome anyone that would like to help with some small building projects, gardening and general DIY. We have 2 dogs, 2 pigs, 3 sheep, 4 cats and 4 chickens. We are an easy going, creative family.

    We're looking for any help so we can free up time to build our home.

    We have a Tiny house with a kitchen and bathroom.
