    Description

    In September, from the 8th to the 27th, we will need 3 nice volunteers to help us to fix things in the house and in the garden :

    - paint balconies and shutters
    - fix and paint a bathroom
    - a range of minor repairs and maintenance
    - maintain the garden (prune some trees, trim the hedge, etc...)

    We like people with a great energy, who are hard worker, who love to work with their hands or just willing....If you are like that, you will be very welcome and no doubt that you will enjoy participating !

    If you love to work outside and be peaceful and have friendly moments in the evening, with a glass of wine and nice dinner,
    if you like to be a part of a team,
    if you are enthusiastic, hard worker, dynamic, resourceful, imaginative... pro-active people,
    YOU will be greatly welcomed!

    About the place :

    It is a nice big house with a lovely garden all around, in the middle of a golf course...
    So with nature all around but not far from Paris !
    It takes 35mn and 2 euros by suburban train to reach Les Champs Elysées !

    Living here is peaceful and relaxing !

    This time, we don't want to have a big team, but to be only 3 people living together, everyone can have it's own room !

    About me and my family :
    We are a very united family of 12 persons and a dog :)
    My partner Rob and me share our time between our place near Paris and in South of France.
    My oldest daughter lives now in the city of Nantes in the west of France, with her husband and 2 beautiful sons, 13 and 9 years old. Before they were in Mauritanie, after 5 years in Madagascar and 2 years in Bulgaria, and Ethiopia, and and and... they both work for NGOs.
    My son was a naval architect, and he is converting into permaculture. He lives in Brittany, in the Golfe du Morbihan, with his beloved and they are proud parents of a 10 years old boy and a pretty little girl of 6 years old!
    My youngest daughter, who is a young photographer, lives in Paris with her boyfriend but they love to come at every time they can and they recently bought a beautiful place in the mountains close to Mercantour...
    And, the last person of our family : Looma, a nice and very very friendly Golden Retriever female of 10 years old !!!

    About you :

    It' very important for us to keep the wonderful warm atmosphere we have in our teams of volunteers.

    So, and this is very important, we are looking for motivated, easy going, hardworking, convivial and respectful people.

    Here, in a great conviviality you will share work, experience, conversations, laughs, music, cooking, meals, etc...

    You will enjoy being and talking all together, after the day work, with a cup of tea, coffee, a beer or a glass of wine in the hand :)

    Please, be honest in your description and don't say (as some did) that you have some skills when it is not true, because it complicates the work of everyone and it brings many disappointments.

    Workaway is a beautiful and amazing experience, we are so happy to meet and discover people coming from everywhere and becoming a part of an amazing team!

    Don't hesitate to ask me any questions you have!

    Hope to see you soon, I'm sure you will enjoy the life here!

    Few more important things :

    - Please make sure you have full medical cover.

    - come with working shoes or boots (that are easy to take off !), working gloves and rainwear... you will need them (specially in autumn and winter !)

    For south of France, I think that it is not necessary to tell you how amazing is this region and how many things you can do and see there :)
    And, near my house, the nature is beautiful, there are a lot of cute villages and many excursions to do, walk or bike to explore the surroundings.
