  Descrição

  My name is Gaëlle, and I live in a charming village in Charente-Maritime (near Saintes and La Rochelle).
  
  
  I've lived here for almost two years with my cat ;). I bought this house because I changed my way of life, and needed more space for my new job; I grow flowers.
  
  
  Before that, I changed my life several times (I lived in London and Paris, among other places) and I've traveled quite a bit.
  I speak fluent English. I enjoy connecting with people from different cultures, sharing, and learning from others.
  
  
  I am looking for some punctual help with garden maintenance (mowing, pruning), and small tasks around the house and outside. I already have quite a few tools here.
  
  
  Regarding my living situation: the house is quite large, and you'll have your own bedroom and bathroom.
  The countryside is beautiful, and the village is lively, with all the necessary shops.I truly enjoy living here. There's a real local life.
  
  
  I'd be delighted to show you around the region (castles, villages, the seaside, etc.) and also the village itself, to take you to concerts or other outings.
  
  And of course, I would be happy to help you learn or improve your French, and discuss about our culture.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  I'm interested in many things and delighted to be able to share them with others.
  
  Of course, we can talk about flower cultivation, gardening, but also music (I sing and play batucada), dance (I've done tango and I love all kinds of dance), yoga, travel...
  I regularly go to concerts and shows and would be happy to invite you.
  In the summer, I go for a swim to the pool (5 min away), or to the river; I meet up with friends; there are festivals and plenty of events (markets, concerts, shows, etc.) in the area.
  There are many hiking and biking trails here; the region is very beautiful, with numerous castles nearby.
  
  We are also close to cities like La Rochelle, Rochefort, Royan, and the islands of Ré and Oléron with their beaches and museums.

  Ajuda

  I would need help with garden maintenance (mowing, trimming), and small works projects around the house (painting a wall), and outside (building a small woodshed, oiling a fence, tidying an outbuilding, cleaning a small patio, etc.).
  Other tasks are possible depending on the needs of the moment and your skills .
  If you know how to do DIY and use tools, that's a real plus.I have most of the tools.
  
  We'll try our best to schedule activities in the mornings so you can enjoy your free afternoons.
  
  Of course, if possible, I ask for your participation in communal living, mainly for meals.
