    Description

    We have a small Chateau on the boarder of the Vienne and Charente regions. We are doing it up and we need some help on the DIY front. Lots of varied projects to help with in the house and garden. The nearest big town is Confolens and we are close to the Val de Vienne racetrack. There are beautiful rivers for kayaking, chateaus to visit and we are not too far from the famous Cognac area.
