From Now I need a handyman/gardener who can help to take care of the very large park of the Chateau in the south west of France. It is a large property that has been in my family for many generations, The area locally is rural and would ideally suit someone who enjoys peace and quiet. Looking as well for a girl to help in housework and be care of my grand children by swimming pool,,
You will not be asked to do unreasonable tasks just general housework and playing with my grand children(4 7 10 12 old)
Foot bike
You will also have 2 days off a week to do as you please, these can be saved up if you would like to take a longer trip. A Twingo car is for you if you have your driving licence
During your stay with us we hope to get to know you and welcome you into our family lifestyle, for example through meal times together. In your spare time, feel free to browse the internet or make use of the range of facilities we have here (large garden, piano, bikes, swimming pool and very old tennis court.)
We have a busy lifestyle, my husband was the mayor of Garrevaques and a member of the Rotary Club of Revel, we are both very involved in the local community - therefore I won’t always be available to show you the region. Unfortunately my husband died last year ...If you wish to explore, bringing a car might be a good idea, but it’s not obligatory. Because I may leave you one! We are situated in a rural area, but live 5 minutes from the small market town of Revel and under an hour away from the larger towns of Toulouse, Albi and Castres.
Myself and my husband have travelled a lot during our careers in Air France, and so enjoy meeting new people from different places! Also, we both speak English and Spanish, so knowledge of French is Necessary because my grand children speak only French!!’ I offer a very. Ice double room with private bathroom and toilet but I like to welcome couple of friends ( boy and girl )because lawyer ...garden cut wood is better for a boy and cooking helping me in the house is better for a girl I think but I am very open!

We are located in the country, not downtown. In the evenings, you would be free to take your own car into the town center, but if you do not have a car, you should be prepared to stay around the house quite often.
We are looking for someone to stay for at least a month. During this time, though, you would be able to take days off to visit elsewhere. Two free days a week, but these can be "saved up" if you want to take a longer trip
