  • Description

    Description

    We are a fun and artistic family, half French and half New Zealander, living in a historic town in the pretty Loire valley. We love sport, art, food, music and adventure. We have recently purchased a farm in the countryside nearby and are looking for volunteers to come and stay for a few weeks, even months if it works out, to help tidy up and restore the farm.

    Help

    This is a place for those who love to dig in and help us out with the redesign and renovation of a small farm, and replanting a garden. Those with experience in diy would be a huge asset- especially carpentry and basic masonry.

    Accommodation

    Beautiful insulated attic room (45 m2) on the top floor of the C18th house with amazing views overlooking the river.
    We will be going from the townhouse where we live to the farm almost every day. At the bottom of the valley is a river for swimming in, and lovely countryside to explore- in this very pretty part of the Loire valley and the nearby towns have festivals and markets all year.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    No car is needed as the town is on a main line between two large cities. We can lend the workawayer a bike.
