    Description

    Just south of Paris, in the world of run-down chateaux. The chateau, parks and potager needs work and the Chatelain's profession has everything to do with the (private) chateaux in the Val-de-Loire.

    I love good food, athmosphere and Reiki for energetic and mental healing - I am a Reiki-Master.

    Looking for volunteers for the following:

    (1) GARDENING / ECO PROJECT
    Development and maintenance of park and potagers. They are being developed into what a Chateau's park and its potagers should look like. The potager is eco/bio oriented, with the nice french designs. Also a someone for cooking.

    (2) BUILDING / RESTORATION
    Restoration chateau and outbuildings. Chateau has been neglected for years, and for that volunteers are welcome. With or without experience. The unique aspect is that the chateau has ateliers with many small and big, new and old machines specifically for restoration works.
