    Description

    We are looking for a kind, respectful and committed person who would like to share daily life with us and help around 4–5 hours a day.

    The help mainly consists of simple and light tasks such as preparing meals together, sharing daily moments, light household tasks (like laundry) and spending time in a friendly and calm environment. We will always be present or nearby, and the Workawayer will never be responsible for care.

    We like to do things together and will naturally accompany you in daily activities. This is not just about help, but about sharing a lifestyle.

    In exchange, we would be happy to help you improve your French, share our culture, and introduce you to French lifestyle, including food and a light introduction to wine tasting.

    We also enjoy nature, walks and hiking, and you will have the opportunity to discover the area with us.

    We are curious and open-minded, and we would love to learn about your culture, your language and your experiences.

    Who would like to join us 🙂?

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We see this experience as a genuine cultural exchange and not only as practical help. The Workawayer will be part of our daily family life, sharing meals, conversations and simple moments together.

    We enjoy spending time together and would naturally include the Workawayer in local life, such as going to markets, enjoying walks and hikes in nature, and discovering the surroundings. This is a great opportunity to experience a peaceful French lifestyle, with its food traditions, daily rhythm and way of living. We would also be happy to offer a light introduction to French culture, including cooking and a simple approach to wine culture.

    We value human connection and open communication. We will be present and available, and we want the Workawayer to feel comfortable, included and respected as part of the household.

    At the same time, we are very curious and open-minded, and we would love to learn about the Workawayer’s culture, language and experiences. For us, this exchange is about sharing perspectives, discovering new ways of living, and creating a meaningful connection.
