Help with house, land and animals in the beautiful Dordogne, France

  Description

  We, Annemarie & Hendrik are a small family living in the Dordogne, France, in an old farmhouse partly renovated, surrounded by our animals and beautiful nature. We're dutch but fully integrated in the french life, in a small village that is bustling with activity. I'm a holistic therapist, with my practice at home. We try to live with respect for our planet, but are by no means extreme; organic food most of the time, locally produced. Our village is halfway between Perigueux and Bergerac, with plenty of other towns easily reached.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Our village (2km) is very culturally active, there's a Café Associatif, a weekly farmers market (organic). Obviously we'd be happy to work on your French or English language skills (or Dutch :D ), we'll introduce you to people and places. The Dordogne is full of historical sites and nature. Holistic healthcare, animal care, language exchange.

  Aide

  For late july / august we'd love to have some help with the apple harvest, and clearing and maintaining the woods. Plus some general help around with pruning etc. We may possibly wish to go away for a day or maybe two, so some experience with animals is necessary . One of the dogs is elderly so no longer hears and sees as well, but they both love their daily walk. One of the horses is old and requires a little extra care, but nothing difficult.

  Hébergement

  The whole house will be at your disposal, but you'll have your own 'gîte', with lovely bedroom and bathroom to retreat to when you want (no separate kitchen there, just the one in the house). Meals provided while we're there, and an allowance plus the pre-ordered veg and bread from the weekly market, and the eggs from our chickens of course should we be away. Wifi in both the house and the guestroom. Car provided, so driver's license essential as you'd be a bit stuck otherwise! We're less than half an hour from Bergerac airport.

  Autres infos...

  You can visit the sites and villages nearby (Perigueux & Bergerac both 25km), there's a lake to go swimming not far(12km). The Café organises concerts and theater regularly and is a nice place to meet with open minded people. June and July it's bustling with all sorts of activities around here.
  If your dog is sociable, and safe with cats and chicken, it will be welcome, too.
  We're half an hour away from Bergerac Airport. Bordeaux is a little further but there's a train service not far away.
