Descripción
As we are now selling the main house which over 10 years we have improved with great workaway help and we are looking for two strong motivated Workaways.
We are a "less energetic than we were" British couple who ten years ago bought an old farmhouse with outbuildings which we have renovated with the help of some 40 Workaways in the beautiful Drome les Collines, situated in the middle of a renowned golf course and 2 klms from the river Rhone in noted vineyard country. We have lived over half our lives in France and have had a very successful property finding business in the French alps for 20 years. We have three children and six grandchildren all of whom live in the area.We are sporty, outgoing and have a dog. The situation of the property is idyllic. Most of the tasks are outdoors, clearing up the land, general tasks, light painting...

So lucky to have had Asger and his friend Jens at a time when we needed strong willing help.
They were cheerful and willing and some of the best workaways we have ever had.
