Description
Would you like to volunteer in rural south-west France ? It’s a beautiful and tranquil location in a village setting. We are a couple in our early 50s and we have two black cats (one very vocal) and our village boasts a convenience store, bakery, post office, pharmacy and a restaurant. Primarily we need help with our pool project and landscaping of our garden.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
This part of France offers really nice areas for recreation and sightseeing with Chateaux, vineyards and quaint villages. And we are only an hour away from the coast.
We are an Anglo Norwegian couple and we speak English in our house, which will be beneficial if you want to improve your language skills. Paul is a joiner and has extensive knowledge from the building industry. We love meeting new people and have in our past travelled a lot. Together we have experience from the aviation industry, higher education, events business and we are parents to 3 teenagers. In our spare time we like to explore the region and you are welcome to explore with us should you wish to. We also enjoy cooking and entertaining and are always looking for new exciting recipes.

Hébergement
We can offer separate accommodation with all the meals served and eaten with us, but with the freedom to also do your own thing. Our accommodation has recently been renovated and is non smoking.
Autres infos...
We can help with things to do or see in the area and encourage you to see as much as you can in your spare time. Our days are at the moment filled with a lot of diy projects and in our spare time we like to visit new places. Since this will be a spring/summer experience, we like to eat our meals outside in the garden and also like to occasionally cook in the garden on a bbq or a hot plate. We expect any volunteers to respect us, our home and neighbours.
