Description
Hi,
I am energetic, outgoing, open minded and interested to share my experiences and to hear yours.
We have a lovely holiday house on the water edge of the Gulf of Morbihan.
I am regularly going there on my own (with Jack my black curly little dog) and I would also love to have human company.
With your help, we would look after and improve the house, the garden and the boats which would nclude some sailing, if you wish to come along and the conditions are right (no experience needed,
You will have the opportunity to explore the area either on the numerous scenic footpaths along the water edge (one of them passing right in front of the house), or with bicycles (including electric bikes) that we have at the house, or visit the old town of Vannes nearby. -

You would have your own room and bathroom. (as there are two bathrooms, you might have to share yours if there was another visitor). We will cook together what we like (I buy the food of course).

What else ...
We are on the water edge, 20 minutes away by bus from the center of the old town of Vannes (train station). We have a have sailing and power boats, bikes, etc.. and a hiking trail passing right in front of our house.
Ideal for someone enthousiastic who likes nature, water sports and general upkeep around the garden and house.
We also have an adjacent studio where I do clay sculpturing and where we have a medium grand piano which you are welcome to use (and that would be realy great) -
