    Description

    I live in a beautiful old barn in the centre of a small hamlet in rural France. Having travelled and worked in many different countries myself for the last 20 years I have settled in Hery and would like to make the house a place to welcome like minded people. The area has a lot to offer from pretty villages and attractions, lakes, biking and walking trails and even the French branch of El Camino de Santiago. Therefore I'd like help with some general DIY. No skills required, just some common sense and determination.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Héry is a typical French village which is very welcoming with a chance to speak French with the locals and visit many attractions, churches, museums and Chateaux. Or immerse yourself in nature by enjoying the 100s of kms of walking or biking trails and a dip in one of the surrounding lakes.
