Details
Description
We are retired pensioners (1948 & 1952) and have 1 old cat and a lively Jack Russell dog. It is not strictly a workaway as we are not a smallholding, a camping setup or have farm animals etc. and because we may not be with you all the time, but still an opportunity to simply look after a 1/2 acre garden, 1 cat, 1 dog, a large home and have a lot of free time. The village is 8 kms from the nearest town and shops.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live in rural France, relatively close to the Spanish border and the mountains. Summer and winter are both opportunities to enjoy the area. The usual mountain activities are available with snow skiing, paragliding, hiking, parachuting, cycling (Tour de France route), mountain biking, adventure ground all near. Walk across into Spain if you want!!
Help
We have a fairly large house and garden, plus 1 cat, 1 dog, and need some general help to care for it all, plus when we are away, which we normally plan. We have a small separate flat so you can either stay in a bedroom in the main house or stay separately in the flat.
