  2025 Programme :
  IMPORTANT NOTICE >>
  We now host on the 1st of each month and on the 15th of each month. We do this to try and recruit more then one workawayer. We need at least 2 workawayers, or even better 3 or 4. We are trying to create a team. Having single workawayers staying with us does not work and it is more fun for you if you are part of a group. Our next start dates are 1st September/15th September/1st October. We do accept workawayers a day or so either side of these start dates.
  
  **** We are looking for help to smarten up our garden, tidy and clean our house and create a summer camp for yourselves to enjoy.
  We are also looking for :
  Computer programmers, ( to complete a simple webshop we have created). Involves uploading photo's and prices.
  Builders who have experience in building breeze block walls.
  People with experience in building wooden constructions such as huts for accommodation and pavillions.
  Gardening experts to create a veggie garden.
  
  Careful planning is essential for both workawayers and hosts, so when you write to us with your start date please commit yourself to that date and to us as hosts. If you decide after one week you would like to leave that is fine with us. We have 3 accommodations available for reservation on a first-come, first-serve basis. Hopefully we will manage to fill the accommodations, so you may be part of a team of 3 people...but sometimes that just isn't possible, so you may be on your own !
  Because of the intense heat here in summer we ask for an early start when it is nice and cool . This means being up at 7:00..(time for a quick tea/coffee) and then working from 7:30, with a breakfast break at 9:30, before continuing.
  
  About us, the hosts...and our location.
  We are two open minded mature guys, (66 and 74).
  The Verdon National Park is one hours drive away. The spectacular Gorge itself is further away. There is so much to see and do there, (including many different sport activities) so we suggest you allow 4 - 5 days after your workaway stay and head out there to experience this stunning landscape.
  Closer to home, just 12 km away is the lovely Gorge du Pennafort, (see photo's shown on our profile).
  We describe ourselves as intelligent, outgoing and down to earth.
  We do not have a problem regarding race/skin colour or sexual orientation.
  
  We ask for 4.5 hours help per day/ 5 days per week in exchange for your own private accommodation, (in the caravan, little stone cube hut or wooden chalet...see photo's) plus meals and non-alcoholic drinks. If you want to buy alcohol, you can visit nearby Callas and buy it there, we do not provide it, (please read the later paragraph relating to alcohol). After completing your 5 days you have 2 free days to relax and explore.
  The accommodations are basic, (similar to glamping) but you will have a proper mattress to sleep on and the majority have electricity.
  
  You are responsible for preparing your meals and doing the washing up. Please note : As you are only working 4.5 hours per day, (most hosts ask for 5 or 5.5 hours) the time for preparing meals and washing up is not part of the 4 .5 hours duties.
  
  We provide you with clean towels, bed-linen and have a large variety of work-clothes for you to wear + shower gel and shampoo...so you can travel light !
  We do not provide mosquito repellent spray or sun protection so make sure you bring it with you !
  
  Internet access is limited, (through our airbox). Please ensure you have plenty of mobile data !!!
  
  We do not tolerate heavy consumption of alcohol.
  
  To join us you need to find your way to Les Arcs/Draguignan railway station or the town of Le Muy. We will collect you from there. Alternatively, it is fairly easy and safe to hitch-hike in this region so you should have no problem hitch-hiking to Callas if you carry a cardboard sign with you.
  
  We are easy going, but...if you are any of the following you will definitely not fit in here :
  
  * Overly religious. * If you have a problem with mosquitos and bugs, or rodents, (all provence houses in the countryside have them and they even come into the kitchen area and shit too !...it's nature and you have to deal with it...)
  * If you are reliant on alcohol.
  * If you have a problem with food that is approaching or has reached its use-by date. We are eco-friendly and green and hate the wastage of food within the food/supermarket industry, so we always buy food that is close to its use-by date.
  
  IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE !!! : The workawayers kitchen is YOUR kitchen. It is not used by the hosts. It is your responsibility to keep it clean and tidy. This year 3 workawayers left us immediately because of the condition of it. We only ask for 4.5 hours help so we expect you to invest a little extra time to keep your kitchen clean and tidy. We have all the cleaning products and utensiles there, so there is no excuse. The same applies to the dry eco-toilet.
  If you are not satified with the state of the kitchen when you arrive then do something about it !...instead of running away !!
  We are trying to filter out workawayers expecting a 4 star hotel. We are a simple, very basic country house. Like we say in our opening sentence, we need help to tidy the garden and clean and tidy the house, (Jurgen is 75 and can hardly walk and I am 67 and not much better). We hope you understand the situation and are willing to help us.
  
  It's your responsibility to have full medical travel insurance.
  
  
  We hope to welcome you soon !
  
  Jurgen and David.
