Cat sitting in an old farmhouse in Chinon, Loire valley, France

Details

• 

  Description

  We have a lovely, old farmhouse set amidst our vineyard in the wonderful Loire valley, close to the fascinating medieval town of Chinon. Our summers are spent there, but we return to Ireland/Scotland in the winter months to catch up with family.
  
  So, we would love to share this wonderful place with Workawayers from October to March.
  
  Ideally, you will be a responsible, energetic retired couple with the skills to maintain and cherish our home while enjoying all that the French countryside, chateaux, vineyards and culture have to offer.
  
  We look forward to hearing from you!
  
  PS on occasion, our cat Mimi will be in residence, but she does like to travel back to her Irish homeland on occasion 😻
