    Descripción

    Hello,
    My name is Amy, I’m 54, and I live in the middle west of France. County « Les deux-Sèvres » (79).

    I bought an old house, in the countryside. It’s a great place, peaceful and full of hidden beauties.
    The house has nice stone walls, but it needs taking off the old lime coat, then put some new lime. I need help with that.

    You don’t need to know anything in particular about building : just to want to try and learn. It is a little « physical » of course, but it’s not that difficult. It’s always possible to do 1 hour at a time.

    There are lots of nice places to visit less than an hour away around here too : Beautiful Villages, with medieval features, old churches and castles. The famous Poitevin Wasteland for example.
    The nearest town is Parthenay (8 km away).
    Niort (45 min away) and Poitiers (1 hour) are the largest towns around.
    La Rochelle is close enough to go for a day trip. Oleron and Ré island are about 2 hours and a half away.
    Nantes is less than 2 h away.

    Around in the village, there are more animals than humans and nature is beautiful. While walking around, you may encounter rabbits, foxes, deers, ragondins, many different birds of all sizes, bats and more, plus of course all the animals of the farms around.
    You’ll also discover some nice ponds, old houses and small castles, around. Parthenay, the nearest town, is a nice small medieval city.

    Beware that there is no public transportation coming near my house. If you don’t come with your own car : You will rely either on the bike (I have one you can borrow), hitch hiking (current here), me or my neighbors. I always help as much as I can and will pick you up at Parthenay’s bus station anytime.

    The house is over 200 year old and far from being finished renovating. Don’t expect a lot of comfort but it is functional.

  • Alojamiento

    Alojamiento

    You’ll have your own room with a computer if needed. There is wifi as well as cable internet.
    Keep in mind that it is an old house, comfortable enough in some places but less in others (the kitchen looks like one in a camper site, I’ll build a new one… ).
    Also, it might be cold in the rooms : I’m trying to go ecological and do not plan to turn the heater on unless it gets too cold. I also believe it’s time to learn to toughen up (I used to live in the south and got weak). In November last year, I got 12/14°C inside, colder than outside 😂. Even with a little heating in the heart of winter, it’s no better.
