Help
We need help for many garden jobs: fence to build, gardening: weeding, mowing, cutting, fruit and vegetable garden, maybe baby-sitting and house care. Not all of this at the same time, of course! Depending on the moment, the season, your skills and wishes, the weather.... We also have a bathroom to finish

Nous avons besoin d'un coup de main pour des aménagements du jardin en cours: clotures, entretien du jardin;: désherbage, tonte, taille, entretien du potager, des fruitiers, aide à la maison et éventuellement baby-sitting. Pas tout en même temps, évidemment :-). Nous avons aussi un chantier de salle de bain à terminer: mise en place du lavabo.

I stayed there only one week, but it was a very precious experience in my exchange life in France. They were very friendly and flexible to everything we did. They were very interested in other cultures and I definitely like Brittany. The sky at night is filled with shining stars.

Les enfants étaient adorables, le travail au jardin à mon rythme, la famille accueillante, le concert de chansons pour enfants en breton inoubliable ! Mais j'avais choisi de dormir dans mon minivan et la pluie froide a fini par me remettre bien vite en route, dommage.

Marie a passé une petite semaine avec nous, pendant laquelle elle a été d'une grande efficacité pour regagner un début de contrôle sur notre potager et la végétation autour du jardin, repérant et proposant ce qui était à faire, nous avons profité de son sourire et de ses poésies aux repas, en espérant avoir laissé un bon souvenir de la Bretagne… read more

Elodie's family were so nice to spend time with and were really hospitable. There was always great, healthy food on the table and I had my own room which was big and comfortable. The children were great fun to be around and I learnt a lot of useful vocabulary! The garden itself is amazing and it was a pleasure to work in. Elodie would often work… read more

We appreciated Natasha and Ross company, who managed to work with their young girl and baby boy, we found it very brave to travel and work as a family, and even if with a baby on our own as well, evenings were short, we managed to have some times to chat. Natasha and Ross were very well organized to accomplish tasks and willing to do very well, as… read more

Excellent stay.

Sorry for taking so long to write this, but we wanted to thank Elodie and her lovely family for the welcoming week spent there. The food was lovely and there was plenty to do nearby. I would say it helped having a car though as some of the places we visited were a short drive away.

The work was rewarding and although it was… read more
