  Description

  We are a couple who have moved into a new house 3 years ago. And we did a lot of work. We would need help to help us clean the land, prune trees, shrubs, prepare the garden for future planting, stewardship, cleaning, cooking, etc ... in return: Spartan accommodation in the house not yet finished and improvement in French of course if necessary.
  
  We are looking for someone who is motivated to get up in the morning, good with their hands and a bit of a maniac to do things the best they can.
  
  We are located in Provence in the south-east of France, are opposite an aerodrome gliding center, 5 km from Lake Saint-Cassien, surrounded by several typical Provencal villages.
  We are equipped with dry toilets, we also have to rebuild some dry stone walls, anyone with knowledge in these areas or in tree pruning is welcome !!
