Descrição
We, Roger and Emmy, are going to live and work in a Chateau in Dordogne. It is a neglected Chateau and it needs lots of work. In the future we want to start chambres d'Hôtes and table d'Hôtes, cooking workshops, food & wine tasting etc.
There is lots of gardening to do like starting a potager/ vegetable garden, tree surgery, making a garden plan, outside cleaning and inside the chateau and the outbuildings ( try building ecofriendly )but also work in the Chateau, like plumbing, electricity, decorating etc. and making the chateau livable. Heating is by open fire or wood burn.
Most of the time I will be ther without my husband and there will be other people staying for help and for fun.
There will be also a little puppy ( Labrador) from until May so it will need some care.
I want to live my life more back to basic, with good food and wine, sustainable and eco friendly and try to restore rhe chateau and let other people enjoy this baeautifull place and the surroundings!
Once a year there will be a week ( maybe 2 weeks, I hope) for children and there parents who have been or still are treated for cancer , which they can enjoy for free. So then volunteers will be also needed.
There will be more....
