    Description

    My family and I live on a beautiful 2.5 hectare farm in the countryside in Lot-et-Garonne, close to the border of Gironde and Dordogne. It's 3 kms to the local village of Duras, which has a supermarket, shops and restaurants; just over an hour from Bordeaux and 40 minutes from Bergerac.
    During the summer months we host paying guests in our two gites, and in the winter months, (end of October - mid-May), we have space to offer to Workawayers. We would be grateful for some assistance with gardening, cooking, cleaning, organising and some small scale DIY projects.
    My husband and I are originally from New Zealand and Australia. We have two children aged 10 and 8 years old. We have chickens, two cats and a small dog on the farm, and there may be cows in the neighbouring field.
    I run a busy company online. My husband is a writer. We have travelled widely, and are interested in current affairs, the Arts, music and writing. We enjoy meeting and talking to people from different countries.

    We enjoy having wide-ranging discussions with people from all over the world. We speak English as a first language, and some French. We are happy to help guests with their English and would love to improve our French! The history and culture of the region we live in is a fascinating one. We live 3 kilometres from Duras and its 12th century chateau. There are many other historic towns and villages in our region, and lots of local markets and festivals.

    Hébergement

    You would have your own self-contained cottage with a kitchen and bathroom.
    We can also provide food. We can share most meals, of if you have special dietary requirements you may prefer to cook for yourself. We eat most things, with an emphasis on healthy, locally produced food. (I like going to local markets.) In the cottage where you would be staying there is Fibre Optic internet, a Smart TV, Bluetooth speaker, electric heaters and an electric blanket on the bed.

    We live in the countryside, in a beautiful part of Lot-et-Garonne, on the edge of Gironde and the Dordogne. There are rolling hills, fields, forests, and pretty villages in the region. There are also local markets, and the opportunity for bike riding, horse riding, canoeing and walks. We are based just over an hour from Bordeaux, and the train station is 20 minutes away. The closest shopping is 3 kilometres away. You will need your own car, or we can lend you a bicycle. We don't have a charging port for electric cars, however there is one in the nearby village.
