Descrição
Hi, I'm Jacqueline, franco-British, and I live in a former farm-house (17th century) near the foothills of the Pyrenees ,in the countryside just 10 minutes from the centre of Pau, 45 minutes from Lourdes and an hour and a half from Biarritz.
The cat, horse and donkey are here full time, grown children now and again, guests in the retreat/holiday unit more often than not! There is the house and two barns - one is a Gite (retreat and holiday accommodation) and the other stables downstairs and a beautiful large yoga/meditation space above (see pix). My work (not yours) involves teaching English part-time at a French school in Pau, servicing the gite and its guests, sometimes welcoming a guest in the house to learn English (usually one week's immersion), and also running a non-profit association, giving healing and teaching meditation and yoga in the Dharma room.
The property has a lot of woodland with lush vegetation. There are a number of fruit trees in the garden areas - figs, apples, kiwis and pears in season - and we favour an organic plant-based/vegan diet here. -

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Based in a very peaceful and healthy location, you can choose to use your time here to go within and retreat and/or to explore the beauty around you. Close to the town with the university, language or cultural study (mainly English with some French opportunities) is possible. Lots of experience and materials for learning English available. Also the possibility of starting or developing meditation and yoga. The spiritual work which we do through the non-profit part of our activities gives lots of opportunity for personal development. Workawayers can also explore the south-west of France or parts of Spain while based with us. Please note that this is an English-speaking household in France (even the cat, horse and donkey speak English!). Eating vegan is another area which can be shared (although we are happy to provide vegetarian foods as well).
-
Ajuda
The property is fairly large (4 hectares, largely wooded) with a garden and terraced lawns around the house and the gite, an orchard, a field for the horse and donkey, and extensive woodland from which logs need to be brought up for our two woodburning stoves (the donkey needs to be trained to carry logs too so any experience with donkeys very welcome!). Some gardening, pruning and tidying are ongoing, lots of painting generally needs doing. Being with the 'honkeys', grooming, haying up and mucking out the stables are daily tasks. Collecting fruit and nuts in season, helping in and around the various buildings is always welcome - housework and cleaning - depending on what skills you bring. Experience with horses very helpful (although of course I can train and help you if you are willing and time allows), and knowledge of garden tools a big plus.

Acomodação
A character bedroom, complete with original beams, on the top floor, with a view over the valley and a small bit of mountains. Double bed, own shower room on the floor below. Alternatively (depending on other guests we have), the single room next to the Dharma Room which also has its own small bathroom (compost loo) and kitchenette.

Algo mais...
Plenty of walking and running among the surrounding Jurancon vineyards, and cycling - though it is hilly round here (that's why the Tour de France comes though Pau most years), good trains to Lourdes, Bayonne, Bordeaux and Toulouse. Pau is only 10 minutes by bus and is a lovely French town with a chateau. Spain is an hour away. There's a piano you're welcome to play. Amazing mountains with hiking, biking and skiing not far. Lourdes is an easy day-trip and the Atlantic coast, around Biarritz or Hendaye, is within easy reach. Pau has a lot to offer in terms of sports and activities - an excellent indoor and outdoor pool complex, an olympic kayaking stadium, climbing, access to skiing, great golf courses and more.

She helped us willingly and a lot, taking on routine tasks as well as quickly completing projects we asked of her, sometimes

I had a wonderful experience here and highly recommend it. Anthony and Jacqueline are lovely people who offer a peaceful environment for you to grow in. I learned much from them both and will take these lessons with me as I move forward. This is an ideal example of how workaway is supposed to be.

Kevin was with us for a month after a challenging confinement in the Basque country. He worked very hard and very willingly while he was with us and was keen to complete the major projects we had which involved clearing and repairing paths blocked by fallen trees, turning those trunks into logs, and extending our log shed to take all the extra

Norah was with us for a month and a half over what could have been a very difficult period during which we had to be away for an unexpected funeral over the Christmas period. Fortunately it all fitted in with Norah's plans so that we were able to leave the house and the animals in her capable hands. Norah had a knack of finding out just how we

I highly recommend staying with Jacqueline and Anthony. A beautiful place with beautiful people and beautiful animals. Cosmo the dog will bark at you in the beginning but only for a short time. Afterwards he will love you. It is just his way of saying hello :-) The food is very delicious and healthy and the house is very cosy. I stayed here for

Sydney was with us for the best part of three weeks and was a tremendous help to us and a great friend to the animals. She adopted Cosmo and looked after the horse and donkeys so well (particularly Julia's sore hoof!) that they are still asking when she is coming back! She was a super-fast painter working well alone and using her initiative, as

Staying with Jacqueline and Anthony was a beautiful, peaceful experience full of learning & laughter! I spent 2 lovely weeks there and would have stayed much longer, but already had pre-existing plans to travel to Norway. It didn't take long to consider their gorgeous property home, they made everything clear and comfortable, tasks were suited to

My time at Jacqueline and Anthony's home was a great human experience, they really are welcoming and kind. The house is charming and cosy. The work I had to do seemed like I was living there and be a part of the family: painting walls, picking up the leaves, cleaning Dharma room or the house, preparing the garden, taking care of animals and many

Jessy stayed with us for almost three weeks and throughout that time was excellent company, really fitted in, and helped us a great deal both in the house and outside in the orchard, fields and woods. She showed considerable initiative and worked well in a team with the other Workawayer who was here. There was also some delicious cooking and very

Jorge was only with us for a relatively short time but felt very much a member of the family. He was a tremendous help to us, from sculpting an immense flight of steps in the garden to a little informal family tennis coaching! Good fun to have around, a hard worker and always showed initiative - welcome back anytime!

I've been so thankful to Jacqueline and Anthony for helping me out on a very short term, picking me up from a train station, and being flexible. It was great to come to a peaceful place where visitors come for healing and retreat, you'll have a chance to join meditation and more. It's close to Pau and various wine estates. Jacqueline and Anthony

We were very happy to be able to help Irene move at short notice from somewhere local to us that wasn't working out for her. She was great workawaying here with some good painting and working with our donkey Julia to her credit, and we all got on really well. We wish her all the best.

We really loved having Henna with us, she is a great worker, experienced, open-minded and helpful in so many ways. She has a lovely artistic sense and yet is also strong and practical, a great friend to the animals too. We would have been more than happy for her to stay longer!

I enjoyed my stay with in Anthonys and Jaquelines place. They were very informative and helpful already before my arrival as I hitchhiked my way down to Pau. They were really understanding and flexible, and I could decide which time of the day I wanted to work and so on. I felt good about them trusting me with the work as well, and on the first

We loved having Marjolijn with us on two occasions as she was passing through France. She was open and thoughtful about everything we had going on here and was helpful in so many ways,. A very meticulous and thorough worker, an excellent cleaner and very good company. We would love to see her again and recommend her to other hosts.

Anthony and Jacqueline were absolutely wonderful to stay with for two weeks. They were clear and up front about what was expected from me, and the work was consistently engaging and rewarding. When I wasn't working I was able to relax and read a good book recommended by Jacqueline or explore Pau. The food was always great, the house was cozy, and

We were delighted to have Liam with us. He fitted in really well, was a very good communicator and a hard and thorough workawayer (sometimes I found he had done and finished something only mentioned in passing as a possible future job!) Remembered for his enthusiastic wood chopping and brilliant floor sanding among other things. Sorry to see him

Colin was with us for a shorter time than we would have liked but certainly gave full measure - from bringing up (with the help of our donkeys Julia and Venus) and stacking piles and piles of logs, to rewiring some gnawed cables under the floor of our meditation room very quickly and professionally. He was very easy to have around - with the

It was very nice to have Flo staying and working with us. She was a hard and thorough working volunteer - carefully pruning one of the apple trees and bringing loads of logs up from the woods with Julia the donkey among other things - and cheerfully got on with whatever needed doing in the house or outside. She fitted in very well and we wish her
