Descripción
Hey everyone,
I'm Marie from Bagnères de Bigorre, a beautifull mountain area in the middle of the forest, 5min far from the town center.
I bought this old farm from the 19th century in august 2020 with 4hectares of land and I try to rebuild a new project for this place.
I'm a pastry chef and social worker and I would like to open this farm to ecotourism and insertion of people who need a place to rebuild themself.
So, if you like to help me for gardening, or construction, or both, well please, you are very welcome at my place :)
And it will be a pleasure for me to share some french pastry secrets with you ;)

Well, for a french person, I'm not thaaat bad in english ! So I can help you learn some french words if you like to. Puedo hablar un poco español tambien.
I will share all I know about pastry with you. I don't have a big level in gardening, but I will progress with you also.
I play accordion and piano, so I can teach you some if you like to.
Ayuda
So, as I said, you can do different type of tasks here.
I have many "éco projects" for the farm and I need advices and help to make it real.
I have a lot of plantations to make for the garden (médicinale plantes, fruit trees..)
There is also 2 horses to take care of, 5 beautifull and funny lamas and chickens 😊
Also an outside walls need to be coated, a wood terrasse need to be build. Many things to do and changing all the time, depends of the emergencies 😁

Alojamiento
I provide bed, breakfast and two meals per day against 4/5h of help per day, 5 days a week. From 8am to 12 or 9am to 13.... flexible of course, if you like to work only 2 and half days per week, it's also possible. Just need to be fair :)
Food is organic, local and seasonal as much as possible. We eat meat sometimes, but not every day. It will anyway be always balanced meals.
There is one guest bedroom with private bathroom in the main building with a toilet and acces to the kitchen/living room anytime.
You can use the washing machine of course.
I expect that we share the every days tasks like washing dishes, preparing food or cleaning commun area, not included in the "workaway hours".
There is an American billard table to have fun and a music room normaly, but it's actually under construction 🥴
I live at the farm with my 3 years old baby girl and Chrystophe a Friend of mine is living here too half of the week in a caravan on the land.
I'm rebuilding this farm for 5 years now and it's a lot of work and energy, so I need to refill a bit sometimes with some intimity, also for my family life.
That's why I prefer people autonomus and able to stay alone sometimes.
We will share the meal as much as possible, but sometimes I won't be with you.
If you have your own transport, it will be easier for you to move around, even if hitchhiking works well.
Thank you to have read all and welcome home !
Algo más...
I travelled and still travel a lot, I have visited more than 30countries and I really enjoy meeting new people from everywhere.
The house is in the forest, but the 1rst town is 5min far from the house.
You can get a bicycle if you want to go around or come with me sometimes when I go somewhere.
There is also a train station where I can bring or pick you up sometimes not so far around 15min by car (Tournay).
If you like nature, food and animals, you will be very happy here :)
If you like to chill, you will enjoy it too.
Summer time, we can also enjoy the little river down the 4 hectares farm.
