    Description

    Hello!

    We’re Michaela and Dimitri, a friendly Franco-British couple with three young children, now four years into the adventure of restoring a 500-year-old priory in Osserain—a peaceful, picturesque village in the Béarn region, right on the edge of Basque Country.

    What We're Looking For:
    Right now, we are actively looking for:
    - Motivated, hands-on helpers who enjoy learning new things as well as sharing their own sharing their own skills, stories, and experiences
    - Experience in DIY is a plus—but most of all, we value a good attitude and a strong ethic!

    You’ll help about 4–5 hours a day, 5 days a week, with plenty of time off to explore and relax. In exchange, we offer:
    ✅ Free accommodation in a cozy 2-bedroom mobile home
    ✅ A weekly food stipend
    ✅ A 50% discount at our café/bar in Sauveterre-de-Béarn

    🌍 Language Exchange & Social Life
    We speak English, French, and a little Spanish, and are happy to help you practice! There’s also a weekly language exchange in the village, which is a great place to meet new people. We’re also happy to give tips on what to see and do in the area—such hidden swim spots and scenic hikes.

    🌿 About the Place & Region:
    Our project is set in a peaceful rural area with incredible nature all around:
    - Rivers for swimming and paddle boarding.
    - Hikes and walks starting right from the house
    - Just 1 hour from both the Atlantic coast and the Pyrenees mountains
    - Nearby villages, like Sauveterre-de-Béarn, where we also run a beach bar.

    👶 Au Pair Opportunity
    We are seeking an au pair for our three children (ages 4, 8, and 12). We are looking through an agency, but we're happy to consider a workawayer.
    If you:
    - Speak fluent English
    - Have a driving licence for a manual car
    - Love spending time with kids
    … we’d love to hear from you. This is a separate role with a contract, free room and board, and a monthly stipend of €320. The au pair would live on site at the beach bar.

    💬 Ready to Join Us?
    If you’re curious, enthusiastic, and ready to get your hands dirty with us, we’d love to hear from you!

    See you soon in the Béarn!

    Michaela, Dimitri & the kids
