Descripción
Hello, my name is Philippe, I am 58 years old, and for years, I have been restoring an old farming estate of 26 hectares in Provence in the south of France. The house is beautifully isolated in the hills, 5 km from the village. There is a small river, two residential buildings, and a swimming pool in summer. I am looking for help to restore dry stone walls and irrigation canals, to plant olive trees, and to harvest olives. Hope to meet you.
