Descripción
We are an English family of four
Pete and Su works in Caen Monday to Friday
George 22 is studying in Nancy
Lily 19 and is studying in Le Havre.
We live in the middle of a lovely French hamlet. The area is magnificent and we are constantly still surprised by how much Normandy has to offer. Easy travel to Paris close-by 3-4 hours by train and bus and 3 hours by car. We can collect you from Falaise our nearest town which is 6km away or Caen if the timings can work.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

We have been doing workaway on and off for a long time but we have generally found over the years that the more you are open to the exchange that workaway offers the more you will gain from it. It is a fantastic way to see the real French countryside and still get to visit the tourist sites on your days off.
Ayuda
We are looking for 2 people a couple of two friends that are happy to help with clearance and will involve some lifting and are able to operate a strimmer and lawnmower without supervision
We are looking for people that will be able to work during the week for 4-5 hours a day with the weekends off.
This will suit people that are self-motivated and hard-working and who are considerate and generally helpful around the house when living with others.
We speak French and our children are fluent in French but as a family, we usually converse in English. We used to run a bed and breakfast but no longer do this so the reviews will reflect this.Idiomas
