Stevie 63 & Yvie 66. We are both retired from the rat race, been there done that , got the Tee shirt, worked hard and played hard in our early days, loved looking smart, loved clubs and bars, soulful music and now after lots of travelling we are now enjoying rural life in a beautiful sunny part of south west France. we both enjoy music, history and art, cooking and the good life.
We acquired a former wine growers property in September 2021, it is surrounded by vineyards ( not ours) we will have builders in from time to time and it would be helpful at times to have an extra pair of hands to work either in the gardens or some general help in general maintenance/ basic construction etc. The house sits within the Montbazillac vinyard region just south of the beautiful city of Bergerac on the Dordogne river. The house looks over rolling countryside and is less than 5 minutes walk into the village of Pomport, 10 minutes drive into Bergerac or 15 minutes into the bastide town of Eymet or a short train ride into Bordeaux.
My partner and myself are from East London where we still have a property, previously to moving to France we were living in Cyprus where we had 2 shops, we love to travel and explore and would like to do North Africa and go back to Israel again which we love so much.

They were friendly, generous and we had many interesting conversations in our 2 week stay there. They treated us like family. We were lucky enough to explore a bunch of the nearby villages and spent time at the local markets. The work is very reasonable and Stevie never asks too much of you. The accomodation… read more
