    Description

    I am an English guy who has just purchased a Chateau in the Loire Valley. Completely out of my depth, hence thought people might like a piece of the action so to speak.

    The house is in good condition but needs general help to get it in a fit state.

    People would be welcome to come and stay for free in exchange for some hands on rural fun.

    The area is rich in history, Bourges is a beautiful city and only 25 mins away. The work will give a experience of rural living, with interaction with the locals. The French people in this are as very friendly and will often engage you in coffee or a glass of wine as they are proud to show you what they do.

    Google Bourges !!!! The cathedral and the walks around this amazing city are worth the visit alone. The local area has the best vineyards in the world. Sancerre is less than an hour away by car and its fame is understated.
