    Description

    We are looking primarily for French people or fluent


    I am Sophie (56 years old) and Daniel (66) who is my boyfriend. I am a flight attendant and Daniel has retired young. He doesn't speak English, (it means that you have to speak basic French or Spanish) but he is a good teacher of construction. It's his third restoration.
    We have 1 dog and 3 cats.

    If you don't mind some physical work and getting your hands dirty, you can learn new skills.
    Looking for energetic all-round handy people.

    We are restoring a French manor house that was built in 1820. The manor has been stood empty and neglected for twenty years. We decided to buy it in December 2016. Inside our house all the walls are made from bricks of mud.
    We fell in love with this gorgeous building and wanted to be close to nature, enjoy the peace and tranquility of the countryside and live a new life. We are surrounded by orchards and our neighbors are so kind to us, every week they bring us eggs, vegetables or fruits from their produce. We have a wonderful relationship with them.
    We are happy to take couples, singles or friends.
    We value everyone that comes to help.

    We prefer that people stay for at least 2 weeks. Beginning of March.
    We need someone for
    - Gardening.
    - painting



    The restoration work is being sympathetically carried out with traditional materials.

    Autres infos...

    There are many beautiful villages to visit nearby in your free time, and a great cafe with internet access three miles (5km) from the house. If you wish to arrive by flight, Toulouse or Agen airports are the closest.
    There are many train stations nearby, which is another possibility if you are not driving, Montauban, Castelsarrasin or Moissac being the best option.
    You can also use BlaBlaCar (car sharing).

    The house is located 5km from Lafrançaise, the nearest village.

    As well as learning traditional building skills, we will be happy to take you to visit the city of Montauban and Moissac, take you to medieval towns and villages, where you can discover how the French used to live. Here it is life in the countryside, a life where neighbours take the time to talk to each other. You will get to taste traditional and seasonal French food and enjoy local French wine. In France everybody loves going to the market, so once a week (weather permitting), we visit a farmers market, where you will learn about produce and how to cook them.
