  Descrição

  We are a young American family in with two children (11 and 13) that decided to leave corporate America and move to France. We purchased a 17th Century Chateau, it's small Hamlet, and more than 100 acres near Saint-Pons-de-Thomières in the Occitanie region in southern France. It is a historic preservation project with an agricultural component that we hope turn into an immersive Farm to Table experience specifically for families. Right now, we are working on restoration and setting up the farm for an opening in June of 2026
  
  The property is centered in the middle of a regional park in france but with several villages nearby. It was originally settled in the 12th century and has a group of houses from that period and a chateau that was built in the 17th century. 20 years ago it was abandoned and now we are working on bringing it back to life. We have cleared the overgrown property, installed water, electricity, showers and toilets and fixed the roofs on the outbuildings and the Chateau. Now we have contractors completing 9 units to open in June.
  
  The Chateau property is breathtaking. It is nestled in the mountains with it's pastures in the surrounding valley. The woods are full of chestnut trees, deer, pheasant, fox and wild mushrooms. In the summer we have 75 bee hives that produce fresh honey. We also have a heard of Rove Goats that should start producing milk in the spring, a few horses, and lots of chickens.
  
  It is a raw yet romantic France story. We are looking for two passionate farmers to build their dream along side us. A dynamic farm to table experience. It would be a paid position with a french contract.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  We are Americans working through the transition of becoming French. Our language skills are lacking but the kids are fluent. If you join us, you will get to experience an authentic french village life and the best rural France has to offer but with the company of english speaking hosts. We split time between the chateau and Marseille where the kids go to school, so you will also have some privacy a few days a week and the opportunity to stay in our home in Marseille for beach weekends. Our neighbors are wonderful and welcoming. It will be a true immersion.

  Ajuda

  We are looking for a couple who would like to spend a season or more with us working on the Chateau and it's grounds. We anticipate this becoming a full time position with a french contract.
  
  FARM/Garden skills are what we need most right now. I'm hoping to find someone who wants to work with our chef to design a biodynamic/regenerative farm that produces for the restaurant. We welcome couples or individuals but we are a stable drama free family and only want to add stable and drama free travelers into our lives.
  
  There is a paid position with a french work contract at a rate commensurate with your experience and level of commitment.
