Description
I am a British resident (of Polish origin) with a secondary residence in a beautiful old house in the French Jura. It is in a small lovely village nestled at the bottom of the vinyards and forests. Lots of gorgeous lakes close by. I am also 10 m away from a small town called Lons le Saunier which has very good shopping facilities. Skiing (when there is snow) about 1 hour away by car.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I work from home full time; I also spend lots of time gardening. I am happy to speak English or French with my guests. I also do lots of walking in the mountains (am a member of a couple of clubs) and happy to take the person along. Also, I often go to local concerts, meet friends, go swimming in the many lakes close to us. I have always taken my workawayers with me whatever I do if they are interested (as you can read from my references).The area is very beautiful. I have a couple of mountain bikes - best cycling it seems around here in France as low hills and no traffic (Jura is not v touristic). My workawayers are welcome to use them. Finally, I have a good piano - very happy for my workawayers to use it.
Help
The property has a beautiful, big garden which needs lots of upkeep, in all seasons really. I need help with weeding , watering in summer (v little rain and v hot ), and planting new flowers. I also would like help with some art work on the property - painting flowers or different colours for example on some walls in my outbuildings. So any artists most welcome! In fact, I am happy to help organise even small concerts for musicians or exhibitions for painters etc esp in the spring. As a matter of fact, I organised two concerts 'au chapeau' - basking - for a virtuoso pianist workawayer last spring - and it was a great success (all money going to the workawayer of course). Painters could get inspired by this beautiful place - and I would love to see them paint! And of course, no help with any kind of business activities will be required.
