Description
We are a family of three - me, my father and my 5 year old son - who each live here in this wonderful eighteenth century chateau in lower Normandy. We have 5 pet dogs and a cat. I have worked on taming the park and redecorating much of the interior in the last 2 years (it has been a second home for our family for the past 20 years) and we have had major forestry work in the woods. We now urgently need help with the park and gardens - taming ivy and brambles, cutting and tidying trees etc etc etc. Not to mention some glazing work if that appeals to anyone! The chateau is located just 5 mins outside Alencon which has superb amenities, plus we are a short drive from the Perche region, the Alpes Mancelles region, the invasion routes, many chateaux, the Haras du Pins etc etc etc. The park here is really interesting with lots pf history waiting to be uncovered. The original settlement likely goes back to Roman occupation. The interior of the chateau is lovely - though the plumbing and electrics are old.
