*March 2024*
Looking for some help to get the garden straight for the spring. Mainly cutting back hedges.
Some help assisting my builder with fitting a chimney flue in my kitchen and another in my meditation retreat.
There is potentially a small project to help my builder put down a cement patio - about 1m2.
I am a single mum with an 13yo boy who has lived in the Dordogne for 16 years.
Accommodation would be in a small holiday cottage where you can be self sufficient. I Will give you a small budget for food.
Your own transport would be helpful, but not necessary as i’m in the middle of the countryside; but I can drop you at some of the local tourist sites to visit during your free time, if you don’t
Look forward to hearing from you !
Thanks Enasha

Algo mais...
The Dordogne is one of the most popular tourist sites in France, particularly for those with an interest in Medieval history - we have many fairy tale castles within a 20km radius.
Sarlat has a fantastic Saturday Market, it is the biggest in the Dordogne. For the prehistory enthusiasts we have the Museum of Prehistory in Les Eyzies, Lascaux caves and many grottoes and caves.
We have a lake a 5 minute drive from the house which has it's own beach and is great for swimming or fishing. There are also lots of rambling paths for keen walkers. In the warmer months, we recommend canoeing on either the Dordogne or Vezere rivers.
In terms of transport, we are in the middle of the countryside so there is no public transport. Ideally you would need your own car. We can give you a lift to the local town or lend you a bike to explore the local chateaux and villages.
On arrival, we can also collect you from Sarlat train station (direct trains to and from Bordeaux and a change at Libourne if you are coming from Paris).
There is also a direct train from Paris and Toulouse in the south; which goes to Souillac, then is met by a bus which takes you to Sarlat.

You only had to ask him once to do a task and he just got on with it; managing his time really well.
He did grouting, gardening, varnishing.
Got on really well with my 9yo son.
Highly recommend him as a workawayer.

Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Bertold)
Berti was just the most fabulous workawayer, relaxed, calm, with a great sense of humour! He could turn his hand to any challenge I threw at him, he just took his time and figured it out.
For example, he plumbed in my new washing machine, when the old one broke, although he had never done one before.
My ex left a half made cabin bed for our 5… read more

We were so lucky to have Balasz and Lilla stay with us. They are qualified architects, with many practical skills and a great work ethic, so an unbeatable team to have around.
They could work independently on complicated projects, such as plasterboarding the eaves, with al the tricky angles. Balasz also had a failsafe method of tiling the floors… read more

Eirik stayed with us right at the end of his workaway stint, so he was only with us for four days. However we already knew him well as he had stayed (twice) earlier in the year with some friends of ours who adored him too and he was an absolute pleasure to have around.

Thomas arrived with little building experience but bags of energy and enthusiasm. He is a fast learner and a hard worker. By the end of the 2 weeks he spent with us, he was a very competent stonemason and roofer and could be left to work unsupervised to achieve very professional results.

Deixado pelo Workawayer (Matt) para o anfitrião
Steve and Enasha are wonderfully welcoming people. The days were long and quite physical but its good to finish and think "today have achieved something" and to get into bed tired is also quite nice. The food was amazing and there was always a lot of it, I managed to hate myself at pretty much every meal! There is never a lack of conversation on a… read more

We’ve been hosting for a while now, and workawaying is much more than just exchanging work for bed and board, but integrating our volunteers into our daily lives and Matt typifies this ideal.
He stayed with us for 5 weeks and was hard working. He was at his best when working closely with Steve as he is still young and new to the building game… read more
