    Description

    We are a couple in our late 50s looking for help with various projects around the house and garden - creating and managing our large garden, converting outbuildings to accommodation, building a wall to the front of the house, lots of projects planned!

    We have a spacious house and you would have your own king size room with shower room exclusively for your own use. All meals provided, home cooked evening meals, help yourself rest of the day.

    We also have a heated swimming pool which you can use May to October

    We are in a lovely spot, near a lake, lots of great walks and chances to enjoy the French countryside. You can learn from a variety of projects we have ongoing and in the pipeline, helping you learn new skills and hopefully have fun at the same time. We are English speaking, but I can speak reasonable French too. We can share lots of skills in terms of gardening, building and renovating a home, but also we both love to cook so happy to share tips and you will of course be welcome to join us for evening meals and great conversation
