We were mad enough to have moved, 10 years ago, to a history-packed "chateau" in 15 acres of parkland with ancient oaks and small fishing lakes. The chapel is 16th century the stone staircase is 14th! Ceilings are 4m high - the main wing is 19th c and comfortable! Billiard room included....We work as translators from home here and in London We would love you all to come to help in our renovation building projects and in the garden ( ivy off walls, mowing, fishing, establishing a veg garden and in the house painting and cleaning!). 5km from Chateaubriant and 45 km from Rennes. Can teach you French or English and feed and lodge you.

His construction skills were put to great use building a wall for us in a matter of days.
He helped us mowing and strimming our huge park and was really lovely company and a great conversationalist. I hope he comes back every year! I can’t recommend him enough.
He helped us enormously mowing, building a wall and moving furniture around ready for our next rental. And such great company! I can’t recommend him enough
The cultural, conversational exchange was a real delight and yes, of course, they gave their all, working efficiently and peacefully with us to help us further our project here. We cannot recommend them highly enough.
