Nature will go on growing and living, with or without us, so I really invite you to be part of this consiousness and knowing. As dutch people we lived in France for over ten years now and we can share our experiences with you. we speak English, French, German and Dutch so if you are learning one of those languages, we can communicate in the language you want to learn.
Help
Gardening: cutting trees and hedges, cover the land with mulch, preparing beds for spring.
Indoors: The farm-house is big and old, so there is always something that needs attention: painting, repairing, replacing.DIY Skills in this arena is very helpful.
During the summer season (, July, august) a part of the house is rented. In this period I am busy with the guests and cannot receive workawayers. When this part of the house is not rented ( off season), you will have a room in the apartment for yourself. I expect you leave the holiday house just the way you found it.
Hours normally somewhere between 8 AM and 5 PM, but every external factor like, kind of tasks, weather circumstances, physical preference or other wishes can be discussed or change the hours. The main common meal will be at noon during working days.
