    Description

    Hello, (En français plus bas)
    I am 42yo, was travelling as a workawayer few years ago and I am now a host :)

    I have bought a small house away from the crowd with a view of Annecy lake.
    The garden is huge and everything has to be done, we will build stuff like terrace, toilet, greenhouse etc.
    I would appreciate someone with a bit of autonomy to manage the vegetables, as we will have other important stuff to do.
    The house is 8km from Annecy lake.. but in the mountain. Its a bit remote so you need to have a vehicle if possible (electric bike, or classic bike if you are feet enough to climb the 8km/ 500m).

    I can teach you french as it's my first language.
    I am a keen cyclist/mountain biker, trailer and skier. I can show you around the best place here to bike, run, trek or ski. We are at the entrance of the French Alps and there is a lot of mountains and nature to explore.
    You might know that Annecy lake is one of the most famous holiday place, there is lot of activities to do on the lake.
    I was also a workawayer for 2 years, I can share with you my experiences.

    Accommodation

    You will sleep in a small wood cabin in the garden. (You can see it on one of the pictures)
    Its very small but with an incredible view. (See the pictures with 2 houses and the lake a the back... That's the view you'll get every morning)

    Meals, shower, toilet will be in the main house

    If you want to do 2-3 hours a day, you will have only accommodation
    If you want to do 4-5 hours, I will provide meals.
    We will mainly work when the weather is average. When its a beautiful day, you can do something else, as I will ;)

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Public transport is very limited, best would be to go around with a bike or your own vehicule. There is no shop around the house, everything is 15 minutes driving (I will drive you if you need, you can also borrow my car for short drive)
