Description
We are Australian's renovating a Chateau in the Bordeaux region. We are very interested in different cultures and meeting people and would love to share our adventure with workawayer's. The Bordeaux region is vibrant and we believe has all the best France has to offer. We are right on the river with a large park of 3 Ha. We have been renovating the Chateau over the past 2 yrs and now we move into maintenance and smaller renovations during the winter months. Summer season has now become busy and we are also happy to look for Workaways wanting paid jobs during the summertime. Accomodation at the Chateau is limited in summer so is subject to availability. The winter projects starting in December through to April are things like painting the shutters, preparing the soil in the vergie garden and planting in spring, garden maintence with 3Ha of park there is pruning and planting all through the winter months. Internally we repaint and keep our renovation work looking tip top for the next season. The Chateaux is in need of love so cleaning is non stop and Winter is a great time to get to all the areas we can not get to in summer. For a bit of fun we want to build a chicken house and chicken run. So helpers with gardening, painting and maintence are welcome. French speakers wanting language exchange are very welcome as we need to learn French and can speak English with you as exchange learning.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
We are Australian's living in France so the exposure to French culture and Australian is offered. We would like to do language exchange if that works as we need to learn French and can help with English learners and if the person just wants to learn English that is also OK, we have basic German skills as well. We will have a French chef and a multicultural team working here. We would love retirees all the way through to students no limits and no biases.
