Description
I am an outgoing English widow of 59 and live in a small friendly town St Pardoux la Riviere in the Perigord Limousin Parc in the Dordogne, France. It is an area of rolling hills, woodland with beautiful villages and towns such as Brantome & St Jean de Cole. For those that like swimming, cycling, walking there are swimming lakes, cycling tracks (Voie Vert , disused railway track Grotte Villars and much much more. The town itself has all amentites within walking distance including an Auchan supermarket. Your accommodation would be a self-contained apartment within the property. There is outdoor space (land) which needs some help, this however is 80 metres from the property. Parking space outside.

I am looking for a couple to help with getting what was once a pretty garden into some order ie pruning, cutting grass, some work on the shed & in the house I need some diy help ie painting, cleaning up/clearing garage, attic etc. There are numerous small jobs..... An added bonus would be if someone was a little bit more computer literate than me as i have a couple of problems however that is not essential!

There is bicycle hire available in town and I have a great selection of tourist info, local maps showing walks as the apartment has been a holiday rental in the past. There is a hotel/ restaurant in the town as well as an Italian restaurant, a couple of bars, Presse, Supermarket, butchers, bakers, chemist, doctors surgery hairdressers, flower shop etc. St Pardoux also has a couple of small markets on Tuesday and Sunday morning. Nearest bigger town with Lidi, Super U and more is Nontron (11 kms).
