Description
French & English speaking family in beautiful rural France, with an organic permaculture garden, forest and river, and 3 curious, bright children. Our eldest daughter has additional educational needs for communication and literacy, so enthusiastic and engaging helpers who are keen to learn about alternative communication and emergent literacy support particularly welcome. Lots of options for getting involved with our many projects, family life and/or local charity work (around inclusion/disability, gardening, organic and eco living...). Ideally we welcome workawayers for 2 or 3 weeks.
We have a dog, chickens and a busy beehive.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
I worked as a French teacher for many years, so it's a good place to work on your French! We all speak English too however, if necessary. We are active in local voluntary organisations, so you are welcome to get involved with communication and disability advocacy. We have an organic polytunnel, garden and orchard, so plenty of practical experience available.

Aide
We need help with some gardening tasks, house help, activities with the kids, cooking and forest management. We always have projects on the go (painting, renovation work...), so depending on your interests and skill set, there is plenty to work on! If you are interested in video creation or social media, there are also possibilities for a short project around my charity work.
We are in a quiet rural area, so when the kids are at school it is quite quiet... it suits people who are happy with some quiet time for reading, music, walking etc.

I have taught French and English and am interested in learning new languages. My Spanish is very rusty, but very happy to have the opportunity to practise :)
Hébergement
Independent holiday cottage available which would suit an individual, couple or two people travelling together (it's quite cold in winter though!). You'll have your own bathroom, but meals can be eaten with the family, to be decided with you according to your preferences. Help with food preparation very welcome. If you are travelling alone, we are happy to include you in the family but if you are travelling as a couple and want your own space, that can work fine too.
Autres infos...
Beautiful rural area with lots of birds, insects, forests and rivers, close to the Brenne natural park (famous for migrating birds) and St Savin's UNESCO listed abbey. Would suit nature lovers interested in photography, writing, painting, cycling or similar... Bikes available and occasional use of the family car, but due to the rural nature of the property (2kms to the nearest village) it might suit you better if you have your own wheels (can collect from train station if not).

You will be very well set up with a sizeable kitchen and living room, a cozy bedroom with a double bed (and lots of books to chose from), a modern bathroom with a powerful shower and very hot water...
Living with the family taught me a lot about myself;… read more
