    Description

    I am looking for some helpers in Jan/Feb/Mar, this is not a paid position.
    A couple or individual
    DIY, cleaning, painting, general upkeep. Also another property in the hameau that my son is working on and needs some help
    I have a barge on the canal du Midi, currently moored in Toulouse for the winter and I will be going up and down there to do bits of upkeep work on her along with renting her out every now and again. I would like someone to help with the various bits of work and general upkeep of the properties in return for board and lodgings.
    Lots of time for you to enjoy and explore these amazing surroundings in a wonderful part of SW France in the Ariege, France

    Please get in contact if you are interested and think you might fit the spec!!

    Happy exploring

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    They could benefit from living in a lovely part of the world breathing in the mountain air, all sorts of outside sports and activities in a place steeped in history and hopefully learn some skills along the way. Also improve their french, learn some of the french culture and hopefully enjoy staying with us and it would be mutually beneficial to both of us.
