Descrição
In the Minervois midway between the beautiful cities of Narbonne and Carcassonne close by the Canal du Midi. Black Mountains to the north, Pyrenees to the south, beautiful beaches to the East, there really is so much to do here. I bought a bakery and have turned it into a craft brewery, with a little help from the dog and cat. I started building a pond last autumn, and then I broke my leg and then storm Nils did some damage so there's quite a lot to do outside this summer - but at least there's beer :) Also, lots of my customers speak English so my French isn't improving. If you can help out with any of these, or want to learn how to brew, this is a wonderful place to be! Lac de Jouarres, (swim/kayak/sunbathe) 15 minute walk. Minerve - ancient fortified capital and amazing geology 60 minute cycle. Mediaeval Carcassonne 22 minutes (1€) by train. Roman (and modern) Narbonne 13 minutes (1€) by train. Canal du Midi - 5 minute walk. Homps has 8 restaurants and a supermarket open 7 days a week! Olonzac has restaurants, shops, bars and a weekly market

Eva was a lovely, hardworking guest. In just over two weeks with a little instruction and assistance she achieved so much ! She's keen and quick to learn new skills, and happy to apply them diligently and independently.

Anne is good company and was a willing, hardworking help with all the work we did in the garden and brewery – including making molehills out of mountains and beer from ginger ! She’s a very unassuming guest, a demon card player but easy to host. With her friend she got to explore the local area, meet the residents and make good use of her French.

We had a great time with Andrew for almost 2 weeks. We helped him prepare for his fete with a Dutch blues band, food truck, and lots of beer. The work was very reasonable and Andrew was generous with great food and our time. We had a hard time leaving Pixie, the cat. The sweetest cat we've ever met!
