Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The village of Courcome (16240 ) has four hundred and twenty residents, one boulangerie. Ruffec is 5K away and has a Sat and Weds market. Verteuil sur Charente is 7k away and sports several jolly good restaurants, a mill and a couple of bars.
Help
After fourteen years of great use this beautiful house needs a lot of T.L.C . Walls and ceilings need filling and painting, window frames too. Nooks and crannies need cleaning and polishing to look as good as new. Afternoons and weekends off to join in with the British ex-pats having fun.

Accommodation
Choice of two. One double bedroom is downstairs with the bathroom off the hall. The other is at the far end of the house, secluded and has it's own adjoining bathroom. That room can sleep five. Personally I have very little breakfast, not much lunch but a knife and fork supper at 7pm with the whippets in front of the seven o'clock news
( 6pm UK ) or at the kitchen table.
What else ...
I can collect from Ruffec, 16700,railway station and run people here and there as required. It's a farming area with miles and miles of open farmland, some forests and lots of good walking. There are great places to visit but little by way of public transport. This would suite a single person or a couple or two friends in separate rooms.
