While helping with dry stone walling you will have an opportunity to practice conversational French, English or Spanish. Your ideas to create a garden will be welcome. You will also be able to enjoy the local french countryside, wines and food.
You will be hosted in a large self contained room, with private bathroom and a small kitchen.
Several surrounding towns have tipical french markets selling all the local products: Realmont, Graulhet, Gaillac, Albi (World Unesco Heritage site)… There are nearby medieval and walled towns and villages, very interesting to see. There are also plenty of Gaillac wine producers around.
The surroundings are best to visit by car as there is a lot to see within about an hour's drive. However, if you want to come by public transport, we can pick you up at the nearest railway station. I can also drive you to places nearby as I travel around the local area quite a bit and go to the market regularly.

Our two centuries old farmhouse is now renovated. The surroundings need some polishing.
During your stay, we would renovate the dry stone walling in the garden, 11 meters long. We will be collecting stones and assembling them with some limestone motar, in the traditional way. If you have had such expérience in the past, it will be an asset.
On the other hand, the plot for plants and flower garden requires some preparation: plowing, raking, hoeing... before planting!
