  Description

  We are a couple who runs a small farm in the French mountains Pyrénées. We have sheep, cows, two dogs, and we would enjoy some help for haymaking. The fields are located on slopes and most of the work needs to be done manually. The helper can discover a traditional way of living and working in a beautiful mountain landscape. During the summer, the sheep and cows are staying up in the mountains, and need to be visited at least every week. Offer: own room, meals with family, quiet place in the mountains, plenty of opportunities for hiking and sports, near the prestigious site of Gavarnie. Any help for haymaking on steep fields will be very, very welcome! The hay is for the sheep and the cows next winter, to feed them, not to be sold away.
