Description
This private place needs helping hands with renovating and gardening.
Ancient farmhouse in the South of France, based in the lovely hills that build the foreland to the Pyrénées. The house and its barn are surrounded by 2ha of land: a meadow, oak trees, orchards... Currently there is Anne living here, 48 years old, a French-German business consultant and from time to time Elke, a senior German lady, as well as Topo, the dog, 3 cats, 3 sheep and 3 hens. Professional craftsmen come regularly for renovation or building tasks.
We can only host people having *experience* with either renovation, building or gardening work.

We can agree on speaking French or English or German during your stay. There are many historic places around such as Aurignac and the Gorges de la Save, for those who are interested in history and archaeology. By car, you can visit Saint Bertrand de Comminges (40min) and the higher Pyrénées (1 hour from here), with hiking tours going up to 3000m. I can help organise this for you on a week-end.
Hébergement
3 possibilities: you can either sleep in our comfortable caravan, or in a room in the farmhouse if one is available, or in your own van or camping car.
The house is not completely renovated yet, but comfortable to live in. It has electricity, heating, high-speed Internet and a modern bathroom. 3 rooms of 5 are already renovated, a second bathroom is to come...
Meals are cooked with regional products, either from the garden, the local market or from an organic farm in the neighbourhood. We do a mix of vegetarian and omnivorous cooking - flexitarian I would say (can adapt to only vegetarian for you).
Autres infos...
It's a very rural area, no shop or public transport in the village (shops and market at 15min ride). I can pick you up at the train station (25min from here) or you come with your own car, van or bike).
Activities around: you can use the bike here (it is not electric!) for cycling in the soft hills around here. You can enjoy the place itself that is very relaxing and its nice surroundings (view onto the Pyrénées). You can hike, climb and swim in the "Gorges de la Save" (at 6km) and discover the Pyrenean piedmont that is rather calm and restful.
We prefer to host helpers who have experience (with renovation of old houses and/or construction of wooden huts and/or gardening and/or animals). Autonomous working skill is necessary. You might learn from a craftsman if it's renovation work, otherwise (if gardening) you might be working on your own most of the time - so be sure you like this.
The evening meals are taken together, I am rather a good cook and like good conversations.

I was there during the heat wave and I could go to the beautiful gorges de la save to cool down.
That's was a good life, eating outside at the evening and having some nice conversations.
The job is not too much demanding and there's a lot of different things to do.
