Descrição
My husband and I own a large home on 27 hectares of land in the Correze region of France. The home is located in the environs of Tulle and Argentat.
We are a fun loving couple in our early sixties and have grown children and grandchildren who live abroad. We have spent our lives living and working all over the world and I speak 5 languages while my my husband speaks 3.
We require assistance with a range of gardening, house tasks and small repairs. The work will be on the grounds of our holiday home and some minor works in the house itself. Workawayers will not be asked to help with any paying guests or on the houses where guests may be staying. You will have the afternoons to yourself. A drivers license is preferable and a car can be made available if you've been driving for 5 years. We also have a full range of bicycles and helmets for Workawayer use. We have all the tools and gardening equipment required and the Workawayers will be housed either in a separate private, recently renovated residence very close to the chateau or in the chateau itself.
We are located in a picturesque medieval village and after 45 years of hard work, we are now retired.
There is much to see and do in the area and we also have a large pool which can be used by workawayers after a good day's work.

Mon mari et moi possédons une maison sur un grand terrain dans la région de la Corrèze en France. La maison est située dans les environs de Tulle et d'Argentat.
Nous avons besoin d'aide pour divers travaux de jardinage, travaux ménagers et petites réparations. Un permis de conduire est préférable et une voiture peut être mise à disposition. Nous avons tout l'équipement et les outils nécessaires pour le travail. Les workawayers seront hébergés dans une résidence privée séparée et récemment rénovée.
Nous sommes situés dans un village pittoresque et nous sommes retraités.
Il y a beaucoup à voir et à faire dans la région et nous avons également une grande piscine qui peut être utilisée par les workawayers après une bonne journée de travail.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
We will be working alongside the Workawayers. The house is often visited by friends and family, and we welcome the Workawayers at our table and by the pool. As the daughter of an Australian diplomat married to a French/American retired Investment Banker, we have lived throughout the world and have family all over the world as well. We are thus very much used to welcoming people from different cultures and 5 languages can be spoken in our home. We can show the Workawayers some of the beautiful sights around us. Transport can also be provided if needed and there are plenty of bicycles of all sizes to use.
Ajuda
The Workawayers will spend some of their workday in the garden, weeding, hedge-trimming, lawnmowing, tree pruning, pool cleaning etc. All the tools and safety equipment needed are available. There are also some interesting small eco and infrastructure projects to be done for those with that experience. It is a large property and there is always something needing doing. We will often be helping alongside you. If the weather is poor, there might be some painting or other small tasks to be done in the main house.

Acomodação
The Workawayers will reside, either in their own fully equipped three bedroom cottage on the property or in the main house itself and of course use of the large pool when there are no guests. Lunch and dinner will be provided by us, although we expect help in preparation and cleaning up afterwards.
Algo mais...
In their free time, the workawayers can explore the area and partake in the many activities provided nearby. A car can be made available at certain times and bikes are always available. There is a beautiful lake just minutes away by bike, canoeing on the Dordogne, Stand up paddle and waterskiing on another nearby lake.

His skill set far exceeded what we could have wished for and he never failed to be diligent, thoughtful and hardworking.
I often reference Ross as an example of the ideal Workawayer.
I look forward to having him return.

There were many important tasks to be done at the chateau, all of which they completed perfectly!
It was also a great pleasure to have them for lunch and dinner every day.
I would recommend Signe and Tue to any host and I wish them the very best in their life journey!

His broad range of skills, exceptional work ethic and his fun loving character were invaluable to my husband and I. There was no task that was beyond his capabilities. He always thought outside the box , was very thorough and always innovative. For our first experience with Workaway, we could never have done… read more
It is a lovely place to be and I really enjoyed working there with Mark.

In terms of work, there is always something to do on such a large estate.
