Description
We have been fortunate to spend the last few long summers at our beautiful, old manor house in South West France and have hosted some fabulous Workaways during that time.
We have experience of Workaways who have both worked with us and those who have acted as 'housesitters' and taken great care of the house during our time back in the UK.
Next year, we are looking for workaway couples who can work with us on house & garden maintenance and do some short stints of house sitting. Experience of pool maintenance and gardening power tools would be useful and preferable to have some basic french.
We love the Chalosse countryside in Les Landes. The locals are friendly, the weather is mild and we are just an hour away from beautiful beaches and a couple of hours away from the Pyrenees.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
The locality itself and the friendly locals will enable opportunities for those wishing to improve their French. We both speak some french and would love to introduce beginners to the language.
We have lots of local knowledge to share and if house-sitting during our absence, we will keep in close communication.
Aide
General housework and gardening, including some weeding and tidying etc.
We have a gardener who comes once a month but there are always gardening duties to do. When we are there, we love working together with our workaway volunteers and exchanging stories and ideas. However, there will be periods of house sitting too in the next year ahead when workaways (ideally in a couple/with a friend) will need to be pretty independent. We have lovely neighbours who will always help out if needed and we will be in close contact even when away.

Autres infos...
The village location is quiet and peaceful.
There are lovely walks and places to visit both towards the coast (from Capbreton to Biarritz & St Jean de Luz) towards the pretty Pyrenees.
The local market in Dax (25 min drive) is full of fabulous local produce and is a Saturday highlight.
