Description
Greetings to all that love to travel. I have been living in Bretagne, France since December 2016. It is the most amazingly beautiful place and is on the peninsula of Crozon. I have been enjoying gardening and am extremely interested in permaculture and natural gardening. I do rent the house for holidays in the months may till end of september. The preparation of the house and the garden in springtime is a lot of work and since im alone here i would be happy to find some helping hands in the months april and may..
Type of help

Building
General Maintenance
Help in the house

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I can offer 3 beautiful bedrooms in a very nice house in the middle of nature absolutly quiet only 4 km away from the sea.
Except juli and august the beaches are empty and its wonderful to walk the little paths along the coast.
Surfing, windsurfing, beachsailing. kitesurfing. fishing and so on its all around the corner.

I offer up to 3 bedrooms inside the house.
There are 2 bathrooms in the house, 1 for me 1 for the guests.
There is also a second little livingroom with tv which can be used by the guests.
Oh and there are 3 cats here living with me.
What else ...
Discover the beauties of the Crozon peninsula (nature reserve) with its magnificent cliffs, wide empty beaches and a varied vegetation. Nearby you will also find the romantic ruins of the Abbey of Landévennec and the Ménez-Hom, one of the highest mountains in Brittany with a magnificent view of the coast and the interior. Make interesting trips to the medieval, car-free village of Locronan and to Quimper with its historic sights and tasteful shops, or to the modern harbor town of Brest with the Oceanopolis adventure aquarium.

I highly recommend Ariane. She did an awesome job in the garden and she really has a good feeling for not being to radical - she thinks like me : a garden should not be a sterile looking place a bit wild-romantic is much nicer.
Also she had very nice ideas to redecorate the house. Cooking together, having a glas of wine after dinner with… read more
