Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are English speaking and would love to have help learning French but anyone wishing to speak/learn English it’s a good place to be! I’m an enthusiastic cook and love the markets and local produce. During the summer months there are evening night markets where you can buy fresh cooked local produce. We are in the Buzet wine region which is like a hidden gem!
