Possibility to learn French and or English, this area is steeped in history - the kings of France lived in the castles here. It's also known as the garden of France because of the rich soil for vegetable growing.
Leonardo de Vinci lived in the Loire Valley, and you can visit his house in Amboise. The châteaux of Chenonceau, Chaumont sur Loire, Amboise, Blois, Loches and Tours are not far away.. Tours and Orleans are accessible by train.

General help around the house, especially gardening, leaf sweeping, cleaning, tidying and painting, ...and I sometimes need help with house cleaning/tidying too. People who like baking and cooking are always welcome, but it's not essential.
EXAMPLES OF WORK:
You might be asked to feed pets, horses, prepare vegetables, if you enjoy cooking we love tasting different foods, -- Activities with the children are especially welcomed: it's not really babysitting, but more like bicycle rides, basketball, tennis, badminton, table tennis, swimming, playing cards and board games and non-screen craft ideas are really appreciated.
If you have untreated hay or cat or animal allergies, it is not suitable for you.
We do expect you to keep your room and the shower tidy and clean, and to help us with cleaning and clearing and washing up after meals.
The days are very varied and we try to adapt them to your desires, your abilities and skill level.
We can help you learn French, we speak and teach English too.Idiomas

Own room (quite small) (towels and bedding) one double bed, with separate shower room, food & wifi..

We generally aim to eat our meals altogether, and we try and eat locally produced food. For these reasons vegetarian diets will cause us problems as we believe that we would not be able to provide a suitable balanced type of diet.
We eat all meat and try and have a balanced diet with our home grown vegetables.
Our farm is out in the country - the nearest night life is 20 minutes away by car. If you like the peace of the countryside you'll appreciate living with nature and the good walks and runs all round us. There are bicycles available.Algo más...
