Accommodation
The best is to come with 2 persons. Nice for you and better for the job. I'll offer you a room in my big farmer BB house with your proper bathroom, a big livingroom with fire place, in a little village ( and tennis court) with only 5 other houses. There you can relax after work, make the fire in the big fire place and live a very simpel country life.
You can cook your own meal, or better i can cook you the meals. Of course I pay you all the meals.
In my house you have fiber vwifi connection.
What else ...
I must tell you, you are in the middle of nowewhere. City Nevers is 40km, the nearby village is 7km. But you will have a unique expirience in this countryside with a lot of forest and lakes. I'ts up to you! You can read a lot, or write your story. Its may be interesting telling you that i already rebuilt a house with young people. One of them had ADHD. He could stop taking pills because of the healty structure was giving to him by living in the country

It was so good to have you in the building team. Your enthousiasm, your energie to work. It kept a very good vibration in the team. You were very open to learn new skils in building. In the same time you adapted the country life by putting logs on the fire, making drinks and good table conversations.
