    Description

    We are a young couple of 31 years old, our names are Pierre and Pauline. Our little girl Josephine was born a few months ago. Chiloé the dog and Huguette the cat are also part of the family. In life we ​​are both nurses.
    We started almost 2 years ago the renovation of an old Breton house which has been in our family for more than 160 years. We need help to complete the project.
    We ourselves were a workawayer in 2017/2018 during a long trip to South America. We loved these moments of sharing and would like to do it again, as a host.
    We speak French, Spanish and a little English.

    Help

    We are looking for a person or a couple who could help us move forward in our renovation project. There is still a lot of work outside the house and a little inside. It is about doing small tasks that do not require special skills.
    We also have a small vegetable garden that we do projects in permaculture and some chickens

    Nous recherchons une personne ou un couple qui pourrait nous aider à avancer dans nos travaux de rénovation. Il reste beaucoup de travail à l’extérieur de la maison et un peu en intérieur. Il s'agit d'effectuer des petits travaux qui ne demandent pas de compétences particulières.
    Nous avons également un petit potager que nous travaillons en permaculture et quelques poules.
