PLEASE NOTE :
Please only make a commitment if you really intend to come unfortunately. Recently have had 4 times in last 6 months where Workaway did not turn up . You take away the opportunity for some one else because I keep your room for you And I get many requests thank you .
It’s comfortable here and is the most beautiful place to spend some time
I need helpers to keep up garden and clean and tidy the houses general helping hand cleaning out the vegetable garden and looking after Mimi the French bulldog and sydney pyraneean sheep dog
I look forward to welcoming you to one of the most beautiful regions of France.
Hello my name is Gabrielle I am Australian and I’ve been living In France for 10years. In Australia I was an executive chef & for many years travelling around the world, and then I did an apprenticeship as a builder and so for the past 20 years I became a builder... For my retirement ..I came to live in french countryside for a peaceful life and the love of renovating old houses and gardening . there are always some projects .
I mostly Live by myself, but have some friends who stay. and my daughter Bec has come from Sydney I have been hosting for many years and absolutely enjoy meeting and appreciate the so many lovely helpers ...Its usually great company for me as well. Read my reviews I am sure that if you read what you like that I have here to offer, then Im sure we will have a great experience, lots of fun, learn new skills, immerse yourself in a french cultural and language experience in a truly beautiful part of France
During the week we enjoy meals together we will work 5 days. Usually A Saturday occasionally and we swap out days
BUT on the weekends You are independent cook your meals and look after yourselves
I can drop you off to visit local castles and towns. We visit markets where you can practice your french on weekends too.
There are beautiful landscapes are here for ever and you can do some great hikes and do photography as well. For those who want to practice french we can speak together my friends are all french and many dont speak english so you will have opportunity to practise. I have practice books as well.
I look forward to hearing from you
