Description
We are a couple, David 32 years and Celine 27 years.
We have a big old house of 240m2 that we renovated ourselves.
We also have a big garden of 1400m2 and we make our vegetable garden.
Our house is a charming house retaining the character of the old but up to date. The garden has a period bread oven. The house is in exposed stone inside and outside. It also has exposed beams.
Our house is located in a very quiet hamlet of 5 houses, in the heart of the Burgundy bocage, as close as possible to nature.
It is located close to the Regional Natural Park of Morvan (its forests and lakes, in particular Lac des Settons, Pannecière) and the wine-growing area of the great wines of Burgundy (Beaune 35 minutes away, Dijon 1 hour away).
Arnay le Duc 10 minutes away with all amenities and a lake for swimming.
Autun 20 minutes away: very beautiful little historic town, with lots of charm and many restaurants. It is an ancient Roman capital.
Many picturesque villages classified as the most beautiful villages in France in the surroundings (notably Châteauneuf which is magnificent).
Burgundy is an unknown region but worth the detour: heritage, culture, gastronomy and nature. We can advise you on what to do.
We only have old vehicles (35 years old minimum) that we maintain ourselves.
We love travelling. We did several road trips in an old car that we had moved into. We like to exchange with other cultures.

Help
As you can see, we like to do things with our own hands: DIY, gardening, cooking, mechanics...
However, we would like help in one or more of these activities. So we would like help with these various activities:
- gardening (plowing the land, planting potatoes and vegetables of all kinds, weeding).
- We also wish to create vegetable garden squares (we have the boards, we just have to cut them and put them in place).
- We also have a car for which we would need to redo the bodywork (if you are a bodybuilder or a carpenter).
- We are not against help for the daily cooking (we are vegetarians).
- Or help with daily tasks (including cleaning)
