Description
Hi all ! I'm Clemence, happy recent ownerof a wonderful place in Jura, a nice countryside in the East of France. You can discover nice wine, food (specially cheese !) and landscape here.
I am a mother of 3 children and happy wife of Amaury who fell in love with my native country : Jura.
We took over this place a year ago, and it's been a wonderful adventure. Our goal: to breathe new life into this heritage site. If you come and spend a few days with us, you'll discover the magic of this place, its history, and why we're so motivated to bring it back to life.
I have a neighbor who often hosts workawayers, and I'm really looking forward to the experience. I think it's fantastic to be able to share her daily life, open myself up to a new culture—yours—and share in the incredible adventure that is Gevingey Castle.
I'm sportiv, I love hiking, running, biking and Jura is just the perfect place for it !
For commodities : we have 2 nice bathrooms to share. If I have a wedding with rooms booked in the castle, we just need to moove to the second floor for 1 night (I do it too).
To describe some "typical" tasks you'd help me with : picking fruit from the orchard, watering the greenhouse morning and evening during hot weather, repainting a door or window and if you're a bit handy: hanging pictures..., helping me weed, opening and closing the pool, and cleaning it before we use it. There's never a dull moment here... there's always something to do.
In fact, it will of course depends on your talent !
I'm really looking for welcoming you here. I would love to have a 1st call with you .
Don't hesitate to contact for a stay in June-Jully or August.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
we speak french and english, would love learning more about your culture, dinner together or on your side as you like.
During your stay, you'll discover the Jura culture, a unique way of life because we live in such an exceptional location. If you wish, you can share in our activities: walks, a morning jog, a bit of indoor and outdoor chores, picking fruit from the orchard, making pies...
I really enjoy going to flea markets, feel free to join me!
I can introduce you to the region and its local specialties. If you enjoy cooking, the kitchen is perfect for it!
During the week I work at the estate, and on weekends I either attend weddings and/or my husband and children join me.
Help
We will be happy to welcome and share this so special place. It's a great adventure that we've started 1 year ago : we 've done a lot of work to rehabilitate this place.
On what we need help ? I'd like some company to share this adventure with me when my family isn't around, and to help me with everyday tasks: gardening, painting, small outdoor jobs. In a field like this, there's always something to do !
It's a peaceful place you can enjoy : the park, the walks, the swimming pool, the lovely greenhouse. Everything is designed to help you create wonderful memories and recharge your batteries.
PS : you won't help with any tasks related to our business activities without specific payment.
