Collaborative family projects and French culture in Bas-en-Basset, France

  Descrição

  We are active and happy Senior Citizens of Australia living in France renovating a 19th century manor house in rural France.
  We speak English and are gradually learning the French language as we go. We also have basic Italian language. We have made our living quarters in the manor house very comfortable and our garden is a treat. We are very engaged socially with our French neighbours and community, and enjoy visiting local villages and fetes.
  What we need help with are the remaining light DIY tasks. There are light gardening tasks that may be enjoyable to undertake. It will be our pleasure to bring you into our home and enjoy the mutual benefits of sharing our historical house which has become our home.
  We can share with you our DIY knowledge, our cooking experiences, and introduce you to rural French life.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  We engage with our neighbours for dinners and drinks socially, we enjoy our ‘language learning’ group of around 12 people to learn each others language, we enjoy the weekly social gathering at the local Association-cafe, we visit the lovely tapas bar, the local (very social) bar/cafe, the 5 local (walking distance) restaurants and Boulangerie. There are many places in the town to meet with other townsfolk and travellers. Everything in our town is accessible by walking. We enjoy the numerous local villages and fetes and markets. Also there are numerous and varied Chateaux in surrounding areas, even though we are in town centre of 7,000 population without its own chateau. Our garden is around 1000 square metres and surrounded by high walls, part of which was built in the 14th century.
  It is best for our Volunteers to have their own vehicle as public transport is limited. There is a swimming pool in the town, there is a GoCart business 20 mins drive, there is a golf course 20 mins drive, there is a water ski lake 20 mins drive……and many park activities.
  Although we are active and healthy we miss the noise and activity of family, and so our Volunteers will be made welcome and be in their own bedroom with en-suite shower room, but join us in our large family home. There is a family size tv in the smaller living room with numerous channels and Netflix subscription.

  Ajuda

  We would like assistance with light DIY projects, possibly some occasional gardening, possibly some occasional house help. Any tasks will be helpful for us, and we would be working alongside our volunteer(s) most of the time. Our current help include some painting, some cupboard building, but generally just joining us with our day to day tasks, including house help and kitchen duties occasionally if necessary.

  We cook simple plain food with meat and vegetables, but enjoy new recipes. For breakfast we generally have a very light Mediterranean or egg meal breakfast. We will cook the meals but will be happy for our Volunteers to do the meals occasionally if they would like to do that.
