You'll have your own bedroom and bathroom, we'll share the meals (I am quite a good cook ! ). The work won't be exhausting, and I like to vary the sites, depending on the weather and the mood of the day.
What else ...
The Saintonge region and the Gironde estuary are a unique and very pleasant place: beautiful beaches, oysters, Romanesque churches, sports, and rather pleasant weather. The house is in the center of a small town with a pretty freshwater river, a small saltwater port and all amenities nearby (train, motorway at 10 mn, bus,..). Some bikes are at disposable too.
