Description
Hello,
We are a family of 4: a couple and 2 grown-up daughters (not always at home), living in a beautiful area just outside Aix-en-Provence, France. Bus stop nearby to go to the city centre (4 kms).
Car park available in our entrance.
We would welcome a couple or 2 friends to help with gardening (2 hours a day). Native or very good English speakers an advantage.
Dates: May 11th-18th + maybe other weeks later in the season.
Non-smoking area. No pets at home, none allowed for this stay.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Language practice
Gardening
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We love travelling and are open-minded. If possible, we would like to meet native English speakers to practice/improve our B1/B2 level.
Aix-en-Provence is a beautiful city and there are many villages worth the visit all around.
Help
Simple gardening tasks: manual weeding, raking, etc.
Only 2 hours a day (10 hours a week each) so plenty of time to visit.
It's rather hot during the day, so you either have to put up with the heat or be ready to garden early in the morning.
Some English conversation with us (maybe 30 min/day) would be great if you are native speakers.

Accommodation
Lovely small flat with private entrance (kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, shaded patio), ideal for 2 (couple, friends, LGBT+ friendly).
1 bed 140 x 190. Bed linen is provided but we ask that the studio be cleaned on departure.
Food: given that there will be only 2 hours gardening/day, we would let you prepare your own food most of the time (but we would provide most of it and share a few meals).
What else ...
This is the first time we host in WorkAway but we travelled by staying with local people and hosted international exchange students on several occasions. We welcome friendly open-minded people and enjoy mutual respect. Our swimming-pool can be shared on a timetable basis or with quiet people.
