  Description

  Hello and welcome 😊
  
  I am a 53-year-old woman living in the countryside in western France, on a peaceful 3.5-hectare property with a small lake and a lot of nature around. I work mainly from home, so I am present every day and I live a simple, calm and structured life.
  
  My house is not a perfect or luxury place — it is a real, living home, still evolving. I chose this life to be closer to nature and animals, and to slow down from the busy rhythm of the world. Here you will find quiet mornings, open space, trees, birds and fresh air.
  
  This is not a party house and I do not smoke. I enjoy sharing meals, sometimes having a drink, laughing and having respectful conversations. I appreciate a relaxed but balanced daily routine. I live an independent life and I am looking for someone who is also autonomous and comfortable managing their own personal time.
  
  Animals are a very important part of my life. I live with several American wolfdogs. They are intelligent and sensitive animals who need calm, patience and consistency. Because of them, I am looking for someone who truly appreciates animals and understands the importance of a peaceful environment.
  
  I would like to welcome a kind, responsible and emotionally stable person who enjoys nature and does not need city life every day. If you like quiet places, animals and authentic daily life, you will probably feel at home here.
  My English is basic, but communication is always possible with patience and translation tools 😊

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Here the cultural exchange is based on real daily life and shared experiences.
  
  You will experience rural French life: nature, quiet surroundings, cooking at home, seasonal food, gardening and outdoor activities. We usually share meals together and daily life is simple and relaxed.
  
  If you enjoy music, conversations or being outdoors, there are many natural ways to connect here: playing guitar outside, walking around the pond, swimming in good weather, visiting local markets or sometimes going to small festivals nearby.
  
  At the same time, everyone keeps their personal space and independence. The atmosphere is peaceful, respectful and authentic rather than busy or touristic.

  Aide

  I mainly need help with daily life around the house and property.
  
  I live on 3.5 hectares of land with a pond, trees and outdoor spaces that require regular care. Depending on the season, help can include simple outdoor tasks such as gardening, mowing the grass, collecting fruit, helping in the vegetable garden, light maintenance or simple food preparation (for example jams or compotes). Tasks are always reasonable and adapted to the weather and abilities, but participation and motivation are important.
  
  This is a shared living experience. It is not free accommodation in exchange for a few minutes of work, but a simple and balanced exchange where we both contribute to daily life.
  
  Regarding the animals: I live with American wolfdogs, which are sensitive and very special animals. I personally take care of their direct handling.
  
  Workawayers are not asked to manipulate them. In my absence, your role is simply to prepare the food, place it in the designated areas and check that everything on the property is normal and calm. The enclosures are designed so this can be done easily without physical interaction with the animals.
  
  When I am at home, I can introduce them progressively, but their management always remains my responsibility.
  
  Because building routine and trust takes time, I am looking for someone who can stay at least 3 to 4 weeks.
  
  This place is peaceful and close to nature. You can enjoy the land and even swim in the pond in good weather, but it is a real home with a daily rhythm rather than a holiday place.

  Hébergement

  You will have a private bedroom in the house. The house is simple and lived-in, located in the countryside, quiet and surrounded by nature.
  
  We share the kitchen, bathroom and living areas with mutual respect. Everyone cleans after themselves: washing dishes after use, keeping the kitchen clean and leaving shared spaces as they were found.
  
  Food is provided. We organise it simply: sometimes shared meals, sometimes everyone cooks independently depending on schedules. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal.
  
  I appreciate autonomous people who are comfortable spending time on their own and respectful of a peaceful environment.
  
  This is not a party house but a calm place to live.
