Description
Togehter with my French wife Carole and our dog Corben we found an abandoned chateau close to Bordeaux, fell in love and renovated it during 6 years. The exact location is close to Bergerac, a beautiful city in the heart of vineyards in the Dordogne. We have a nice big garden with a pool. We always appreciate a hand to help with gardening, cleaning, cooking and maintenance help. Sometimes we will be away for some days and you would babysit the chateau and the dog.
We will pay 12,50 per hour, which is a bit more than the mandatory French hourly rate. -
