Description
We are a couple with five children; they no longer live at home, as they are either students, traveling, or working.
Both of us—Agnès (53) and Fred (59)—work in the performing arts, including theater and dance.
We are deeply committed to the idea of making culture accessible to everyone in rural areas.
We love nature and cinema, and we lead an eco-conscious, responsible lifestyle in our daily lives (for instance, by consuming organic, locally sourced food).
We live in a traditional Gascon house set on one hectare of land, which always requires some upkeep or improvement—whether to the building itself or the surrounding grounds.
We are French speakers, and Agnès also speaks English.
Nous sommes un couple ayant 5 enfants qui ne résident plus chez nous car ils sont étudiants, en voyage ou travaillent.
Tous les deux, Agnès (53A) et Fred (59A) nous travaillons dans le spectacle vivant, théâtre, danse....
Sommes très investis dans l'idée de la culture accessible à tous en milieu rural.
Aimons la nature, le cinéma... et sommes engagés au quotidien dans une démarche écologique et responsable (nourriture bio et locale).
Nous habitons une maison typique Gascogne (sur 1hectare) qui a toujours besoin de quelques rafraichissement et travaux que cela soit dans la batisse ou sur notre terrain d'1 hectare.
Nous sommes francophones et Agnès parle aussi anglais. -

We live in a large house with several bedrooms. Our children have frequently participated in "Workaway" experiences around the world, and now we are delighted to welcome guests into our own home.
In exchange for your help—which could involve a variety of tasks related to maintaining our land or the house, depending on your individual skills—we offer a place to stay.
Examples include:
Outdoors: Clearing brush, pruning, tree trimming, and vegetable gardening.
Indoors: Cleaning, interior painting, and other projects based on your specific expertise (such as electrical work, plumbing, etc.).

Accommodation
Beautiful Gascon-style house with 5 furnished bedrooms. There is one bathroom, and a second one is currently under construction.
The property is set on a wooded plot of approximately 1 hectare.
Regarding meals: We have a large kitchen with a big table. Most of the time, we will eat together—though living independently is entirely possible and sometimes necessary.
On sunny days, we make the most of our outdoor terraces.

Sur un terrain arboré d'environ 1 hectare.
Pour les repas: Nous avons une grande cuisine avec grande table. Les repas seront pris ensemble la plupart du temps... mais une autonomie sera tout à fait possible et parfois nécessaire.
Lors des journées ensoleillées nous savourons nos terrasses extérieures. -
