  Description

  Lee and I have owned our beautiful Chateau for almost 11 years now - we fell in love with it at first sight! We are totally in love with France and all things French! Our little Medieval chateau is in the Vienne region and we have now turned this into a delightful holiday/events destination with a luxury 6m x 12m pool. If you don't know rural France we can certainly recommend it - come and see for yourself! We are also becoming a little bit famous as we have been featured on UK TV in a series called " Chateau DIY". When in the UK, we have a home in Kent where we have friends and family. My passion is cooking and I promise, you will eat splendidly when staying with us.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are both English and English speaking, I speak fluent (almost) French and we both speak German. Lee used to run a Design Consultancy business which was formerly based in London and I am a retired business commercial director. I also have recently owned and run a food business and cooking is my absolute passion, so good food is always on the menu, plus I am happy to teach cookery also. Lee is a budding artist and attends art classes locally, if this is one of your interests, I know he would love to share it with you.
  
  The chateau itself is set in a beautiful rural location with lots of wildlife, especially all types of birds.

  Aide

  The Chateau is set in it's own domain and has a large garden, private river banks, fields and a small forested area. We are currently renovating some of the buildings and developing the garden areas. We need help with gardening, possibly fruit picking, maybe some housework and general chores.
