    Description

    Hi there! 👋

    We are Kathleen and Sébastien, both 55, living in Glageon, in the beautiful north of France.
    A few years ago, we decided to make one of our dreams come true and bought a beautiful 18th-century former farmhouse surrounded by nature. And when we say surrounded by nature, we mean it! 🌿

    We have around 1.4 hectares to look after, including a little forest, a pond, a garden… and enough grass to make us wonder why we ever thought this was a good idea. 😂

    Of course, we are not alone. Our little family comes with a rather lively cast of characters: Agathe, our lovely and playful dog; Toulouse and Badaboo, our two cats; Heidi and Chipie, our sheep; and our chickens, ducks, geese and pigeons. 🐑🐔🦆🐈

    There is always something to do, and we could definitely use a pair of extra hands (or two!). Feeding the animals, chopping wood, cutting branches, gardening, helping around the house, preparing meals, small repairs, outdoor projects… you name it!
    But don’t worry: this isn’t a boot camp! We also love sharing good food, having a drink, chatting, laughing, playing games, discovering new cultures and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. And if you are an animal lover, you will probably make several new friends before you even unpack your suitcase. ❤️

    If you like nature, animals, good food, a bit of hard work, a lot of laughter and the idea of living for a while in a slightly chaotic but very welcoming French former farmhouse, you might just fit in perfectly!

    So, if our little corner of paradise sounds like your kind of adventure, we would love to hear from you. 😊

    Tell us a little about yourself, what brings you to Workaway and what you would like to discover or experience.
    We look forward to hearing from you!

    Kathleen & Sébastien 🌿🐾🥖🍷
