  Young family with an old farmhouse renovation project on the beautiful Vienne River about two hours from Bordeaux in the stunning Limousin countryside neighbouring the Dordogne. Come and learn traditional construction techniques using only natural products and see life being breathed into old architecture. I am an Australian with passable French and German. My wife speaks Portuguese, French and English. We will provide accommodation, good food and a couple of beers after a hard week's work if that is agreeable to you.
