  Description

  We have a house by the river in the Charente region of South West France. The house itself is in need of redecorating, which is proving difficult whilst working full time. There is also an acre of garden which is constantly in need of maintenance. We are lucky enough to have the river flowing through the back garden’ which makes it a lovely place to be.

  There is plenty of opportunity to learn new skills, such as plasterboarding / plastering / painting and decorating etc. We have already completed many renovation projects and are happy to share our knowledge.
  We are in rural France, and the local people are always happy to converse (in French), which is an excellent way of learning a new language and learning about life in the French countryside.
  There are multicultural residents in the village of Alloue.
  We look forward to meeting new people from different cultures in order to extend our language skills and our knowledge of different Countries.
