So we do need help and good company. Two single persons or one couple, loving to work as a team, we all work together in the mornings and then rest in the afternoon . Lots of beautiful places to visit in our area. We are in a wine area called Cahors. Usually the spring season is very beautiful and everything grows very fast, specially our giant bamboos.
Our main interest is to meet new people and share our experiences, your stories, your travels. We have traveled to India, Europe, USA, Mexico.lived for 8 months in Morocco for a music festival. We like spiritual people, yoga, meditation, travel experiences.

Our time spent with Jean-Pierre and Sian was terrific! The tasks were very manageable with coffee break in between. Jean-Pierre was great in helping us develop some kind of a French vocabulary which greatly helped us. The beautiful properity covered in Bamboo was a truely fascinating place. Can't thank you both enough for having us in your home.
