  Descrição

  Hello,
  My name is Dominique.
  I took over our old family farm (was a farm but is not used as such anymore) in Avesnois area (north of France, city : Prisches) and I try to renovate it into a holiday cottage.
  The house is in my family since 3 generations. I am renovating it step by step since a while but I now want to make a more serious move and update the first floor (move things, break walls, create bedrooms etc).
  If you are interested with spending a little time in the north of France countryside don't hesitate to contact me I would be very happy to meet you and grateful to have your help.
  The place is quite lovely, there is an accessible pound close by.
  We also have ping-pong table and basket ball kind of playground (used a lot by my nefews).
  There is space to sleep inside (room with bed) and space to sleep outside in a tent if you prefer.
  I can't propose you a wage unfortunately but during your stay I propose to prepare the food for lunch and for dinner (if you prefer to cook your own plate there is no problem also).
  My job before retirement 1 year ago was cook, so I will be happy to teach you how to prepare some dishes.
  I usually stay during the week in the old farm to work and come back to Lille on the weekend where I live with my wife.
  In the area there is the Mormal forest where it is very nice.
  Maroilles city is not far (famous for a specific cheese), and also Le Cateau where there is the Henri Matisse museum .
  If you are interested I would be happy to bring you there.
  Many thanks for your interest and don't hesitate to contact me.
