Description
Hello I am an English artist painter permanently living in the South of France, Drome region. I need help with decorating the house, and making a few repairs. I live in the countryside with my cat Puck who has to stay inside the house due to his health so the person would need to be conscientious IE keeping the front door closed etc . It is a fantastic place for walking and cycling or just enjoying closeness with nature. The Drome region is a place of forests rivers and mountains. Within seconds of the house you will find walks which take you over mountains and forests with breath taking views. It is a region known for its artistic community and ecological projects. I am an outdoor painter so if you like art you are welcome to come with me . Marsanne is a very lively village with three restaurants a bar, baker and butchers, a grocer and a market on Friday. There are concerts every week and a farmers market selling local produce. Montelimar is the nearest town famous for nougat! There are cinemas ,entertainment and a train station.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
They can learn french or English. They can use the studio if they wish to paint . Painting lessons can be given for those interested by a professional artist; prominently outdoor painting. I can be there to help give information or create a plan of activities etc.
Help
I am looking for help with projects around the house like painting interior doors, and the outside railings etc. I live on my own and it is nice way to meet people and have company . It would be helpful if someone can help prepare meals but not essential.
Sometimes I need help with painting frames for my art work and some minor help around the studio. I also have a cave which I am converting into a gallery so they maybe some help involving light DIY tasks.

What else ...
There is one of the largest forests of the Drome, the forest of Marsanne, a magnificent forest with splendid views, accessible walks and cycle paths . My house is just a few minutes away on foot from the forest. The historic village, Marsanne has about 1400 inhabitants. People come here to stroll through its narrow streets and visit the clock tower or the Church of Saint-Félix, enjoying the breathtaking scenery. During their walk, they can visit a pottery workshop or an art gallery. A panoramic viewpoint allows visitors to observe the plain and locate the surrounding villages. There is a bus which goes from Marsanne, at least twice a day to the town of Montelimar where there is a train station from which you can access other towns and cities of France.
