  Description

  My name is Laurence. I'm 55, I'm a mother of two, a girl who is 25 and a boy who is 22. I'm from Paris and I decided to move next to La Rochelle 18 years ago to get closer of my parents, and run away from big cities. I'm very fond of nature, I like my house full of family and friends. I like to cook and share some good time with people.
  I also love to travel, meet new people and discover different culture.

  I speak a bit of English but I would be delighted to share my French culture whith my guest, by cooking some very french dishes or teaching French. Also as I need some gardening help, I don't mind if this person is a novice in this field I would be glad to teach some gardening basics.

  Help

  I have huge garden and I would like to create a nice vegetable garden. I will need some help to build up some trays to receive the vegetables, and help to do some gardening. I want to build the trays whith some concrete blocks, so I need someone who can handle this kind of tasks. If the weather is not nice enough to work outside, I would need some help with other DIY.

  Accommodation

  I live in the countryside of La Rochelle. I have a big house that I renovate with the help of friends and family so everything is not finished yet. But you will have your own room, fully and newly refurbished with a big bed, on the groown floor next to the bathroom that we share. You will also have the possibility to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the garden and house.
