Description
I am an English, retired language teacher, loving a sociable laid-back life in a French village. However, now disabled, I am no longer able to cope with my small house and garden in south Vendée. I also need someone to look after my cats when I am away - only one lives indoors. I have a cottage in England too and as I have to go there sometimes, I also need help there, but there are no animals. I can usually only offer one week's volunteering to a single person. However, at times when I need to go away, the stay can be longer. Help is also needed by the cat charity next door, created and run by my sister-in-law, which traps, sterilises and releases feral cats.
I would welcome help with the cats, housework, gardening, maintenance of my property in return for board, lodging, language tuition and sightseeing. I am used to having people in my house as I have hosted many foreign students in the past, and have also run a B & B in UK. I cook and eat vegetarian food. -

Aide
Would welcome general help with tidying the small garden a few hours a day. Help indoors eg spring cleaning, cooking, painting and decorating. You could have plenty of time off and I can offer language tuition. If you are cat-sitting you will be alone in the house.
