    Description

    Respect, mutual support, and kindness. I can offer room and board to anyone who helps me maintain my small house and garden in the heart of the Médoc vineyards. Doing some minor DIY tasks around the house and garden would be a bonus. Small country house in the commune of Pauillac with pets (1 dog and 2 cats), 40 minutes from Bordeaux and 30 minutes from Les Pages.

    Respect, entraide et bienveillance. Je peux offrir gîte et couvert à qui viendra m'aider à entretenir ma petite maison et son jardin au coeur des vignobles médocains. Faire quelques petits travaux de rafraîchissement dans la maison et le jardin serait un plus .
