Description
Hello, Gil (60) and I, Florence (64), live in a small town called Voiron, near Grenoble and 1 hour from Lyon. There's a train station and buses. Gil is a teacher, and I, Florence, am retired. We have a big cat, Pilou, who is 15 years old, and 2 others who belong to my daughter and who leave them with me from time to time. For a long time, we have been interested in cultural exchanges, we love traveling and sharing experiences. As my daughter Lisa had her first experience with workaway.info in the summer of 2018, we decided to register as hosts and offer our home to a young student wishing to learn French in exchange for odd jobs around the house. Since 2018, we have welcomed 4 young workawayers who have stayed between 1 month and 6 months.
We love spending time around a table eating and drinking, going in the pool, spending the day in the mountains, ... bike rides, and Gil loves swimming in the lake in the summer.
Throughout the year, we try to “do-it-yourself” around the house, but we don't have enough time or hands to carry out all the projects. This spring, I need help to clean up the garden. And sometimes, help to prepare meals and tidy up the house.

Bonjour, Gil (60 ans), et moi, Florence (64), habitons dans une petite ville Voiron, proche de Grenoble et à 1h de Lyon. Il y a une gare et des bus. Gil est enseignant, et moi, Florence, je suis à la retraite. Nous avons un gros chat, Pilou, qui a 15 ans, et 2 autres qui appartiennent à ma fille et qui me les laissent de temps en temps Depuis longtemps, nous sommes intéressés par les échanges culturels, nous aimons les voyages et partager les expériences. Comme ma fille Lisa a fait sa première expérience avec workaway.info l'été 2018, nous avons décidé de nous enregistrer comme hôtes et de proposer notre foyer à un ou une jeune étudiant(e) désirant apprendre le français en échange de petits travaux dans la maison. Depuis 2018, nous avons reçu 4 jeunes workawayers qui sont restés entre 1 mois et 6 mois.
Nous aimons les moments passés autour d'une table à manger et boire, aller dans la piscine, passer la journée en montagne, ... les ballades à vélos, et Gil adore nager dans le lac l'été.
Tout le long de l'année, nous essayons de "bricoler" dans la maison mais nous n'avons pas assez de temps ou de mains pour réaliser tous les projets. Pour ce printemps , j’ai besoin d’aide pour nettoyer le jardin. Et parfois, une aide pour préparer les repas et ranger la maison.
