  Description

  Hi everybody
  We are a couple (60 and 70) with 2 dogs living in the french Jura, more exactly close to the wineyards. We fell in love with this hilly region and we bought an old house 8 years ago. We renovated a big part of it and opened a guesthouse which is open from April to October. We prepare breakfast for our international guests and also some dinners. We have a huge park and an organic vegetable garden .
  Our two Basenjis, aged 8 and 11, love their two daily walks in the surrounding countryside.
  This is a very green region, with both large fields and beautiful forests. Our little village is accessible by train or bus, so we don't feel isolated, but connected to larger towns like Lons le Saunier, Arbois or even Besançon. Many young people are settling here, thanks in particular to the elementary school. We are surrounded by talented winegrowers, who are embellishing our landscape. There are also plenty of cows here, all busy producing the milk that makes up our region's star cheese, Comté.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We come into contact with guests from a wide variety of backgrounds, with foreigners accounting for 50% of our clientele. In addition to French, we speak English and German with our guests.
  As in any tourist region, major events take place in summer, with markets, concerts, festivals and art exhibitions in emblematic locations, notably in one of France's most beautiful villages: Château-Chalon.

  * Walking the dogs and preparing food for them
  * Garden help, e.g. mowing the lawn
  * Open and clean the swimming pool and surrounding area (terrace)
  * Help in the vegetable garden with transplanting, harvesting and maintenance
  * Pick fruit in season (cherries, raspberries, plums, etc.)

  Hébergement

  We have a small cottage adjacent to our main house. This cottage has a bedroom, a shower room, a toilet and a living room. WIFI but no TV.
  The kitchen is very basic, and meals will be taken in the main house. Breakfasts are taken independently. Lunch and dinner will be shared, with the possibility of asking for help with preparation.
