    Description

    I live in a large house in the Auxois region of Burgundy, with outbuildings, a large garden, a vegetable patch, and an orchard. I have a dog, chickens, ducks, and bees.
    My 28-year-old son is currently living with his girlfriend.
    The area is very beautiful, and we are 3 km from a medieval town. We also often go to our family pond, which is located in the Morvan Regional Natural Park.

    J'habite une grande maison dans l'Auxois en Bourgogne avec des dépendances, un grand jardin, un potager et un verger. J'ai un chien, des poules, des canards et des abeilles.
    Mon fils de 28 ans vit à la maison en ce moment avec son amie.
    La région est tres belle, et nous nous trouvons à 3kms d'une cité médiévale. Nous allons aussi souvent à notre étang familial qui se trouve dans le parc naturel du Morvan.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You can learn French through my family, do DIY projects (with my son who is a carpenter), I can teach you how to make wickerwork, and we can also exchange gardening techniques. On weekends, we can visit different sites in this beautiful region together, or go to the Morvan, a large natural park little known to travelers – there's so much to see!

    Vous pourrez apprendre la langue française au contact de ma famille, à bricoler (avec mon fils qui est menuisier charpentier), je pourrai vous apprendre faire des créations en osier, nous pourrons aussi échanger des techniques de jardinage. Le weekend, nous pourrons aller ensemble visiter différents sites de cette belle région, ou nous rendre dans le Morvan, un grand parc naturel peu connu des voyageureuses - il y a beaucoup à voir !

    Help

    I am looking for one or two people to help me care for the outdoor spaces. The type of help required depends on the season; currently in winter: garden tasks, bringing in firewood, pruning trees, small landscaping tasks.

    Je cherche une ou deux personnes pour m’aider à entretenir les espaces extérieurs. Le type d’aide demandé dépend des saisons, en ce moment en hiver : travail au jardin, rentrer du bois, taille des arbres, petits travaux d'aménagement extérieurs.

A lush green field with tall grass sways gently under a clear blue sky. Distant hills and a castle create a peaceful countryside scene.
A lush, green willow tree stands by a river, framed by large branches, with an ancient stone castle and towers visible in the background on a cloudy day.
A beautiful wisteria vine with cascading white flowers grows against a cream-colored house. A brown chicken pecks at the green grass below, near gravel and steps.

Three ducks are on a snowy ground, two sitting and one standing. There are plant pots and a stone wall in the background. Tranquil winter scene.
