    Description

    I’m an retired American living in a beautiful town called LONGUÉ JUMELLES. I’ve been here 7 years. I have a large house and garden in the village. There are 2very friendless dogs and a cat that thinks he’s a dog. I love to cook so I have chickens and a very large vegetable garden. I love to entertain and cook for everyone. I need some one who can paint my kitchen dinning room and family room. Some knowledge of electrical and help me do some gardening.
    You’d have your own bedroom and bathroom, and 3 great meals a day. Also you would have
    3 or 4 days a week to go on adventures as you like.
    If this sounds interesting please get in touch.

    Well being an American living in France 🇫🇷 it has been the best decision I have ever made. Just the way the French choose to live has been a learning experience for me, especially coming from Los Angeles,a city that never stops. It was a adjustment to learn to slow down and enjoy the simple things. After 7 years I don’t think I could live like I did again. The French have welcomed me, and I them.
