Bonjour,(text in english after)
Nous avons besoin de souffler un peu avec les enfants et/ou d’aide pour avancer dans nos travaux.
Ce serait donc pour aider dans les travaux de la maison: plaquo, travaux divers.Pour cet été nous aurions besoin de quelqu'un sachant monter des portes et faire des cloisons en plaquo plâtre!
Et/ou S'occuper occasionnellement des enfants : Tao, 6 ans et Léon 4 ans, pour jouer. Ils sont au jardin d’enfant Waldorf de Strasbourg qu’à mi temps. Ce serait pour me soutenir de temps en temps les mercredis et les vendredis, quelques heures dans la journée, ou en soirée.(à définir ensemble)
Et puis découvrir ce que vous auriez envie de nous faire partager, sur ce que vous aimez et vous fait vibrer dans la vie.

En échange, vous êtes nourrit, hébergé dans notre petit camping-car situé dans la cour. Du coup vous gardez vous indépendance. (il y a une kitchenette à l’intérieur, vous pouvez manger seul ou avec nous en fonction des besoins de chacun). Comme les tr... more inside

I am James, and I am renovating a pair of houses at the edge of the Lac de Guerledan. I need help with painting, sanding, glazing, all manner of things.
There is plenty of outside work such as tree cutting, log splitting, etc.
You don't have to be skilled, just willing and able.
The accomodation for helpers is a small caravan but in the small house there is hot water, shower, cooking facilities, basic electrics, fridge, washing machine. There is internet access and TV, in exchange for 25/30 hours per week.

The area is very popular for walkers, cyclists and canoeists. The property is right on the Nantes - Brest canal. The Lac de Guerledan is a popular resort especially in the summer months.

I need help immediately to process lots of fallen trees

We are Martine & Marc.
Since 2008 we live in a traditional french cottage.
The cottage dates back to about 300 years and used to be a vineyard.
We came to France to escape from the business of western lifestyle and our self-sufficient mini-farm is growing every year.
The basic and simple lifestyle is bringing us a lot of hapiness and joy and we would like to share this.
We manage quite well; grow our own vegetables and bake our bread in a traditional breadoven, home-improvement the improvised way due to lack of modern (expensive) resources. Together with our 5 cats, 4 chicken, a rooster, 2 pigs and 1 dog, our life is satisfying.

A place like ours needs maintenance and always inspires us to continue building and creating new things. Fences need to be repaired (a donkey is waiting for a fence to be adopted by us), the vegetablegarden can be improved (based on permaculture), the steep terrain wants walls to prevend the earth from flushing away by natural erosion and the house ... more inside

We run a stray dog charity here in Bulgaria and often take in rescues to rehabilitate. To that end we are clearing a plot we own next door to our main house and hoping to renovate the barns to more dog runs.

We have a large garden with various projects to do (re-build mud brick wall), vegetable garden etc. We also have 2 rental houses in the same village with gardens to maintain and the properties to give a quick clean every now and then.

Happy to host one or two people (couple or friends but will need to share a room - has either double or single beds) for a few days.

Contact us to see what work we have available and if we can accommodate you.

we live in Brittany (Bretagne), in an old farm house which we renovated and have a big garden with collections of plants (500 old roses, trees and shrubs). There is also a large meadow along the little river where we plant and cut wood.
We need a lot of help from February to June, and often in october too, but our workteam is now complete.

We definitely don't work in Summer !


I can teach you french language and french cooking, if you wish.


You have to work 3 hours a day, saturday and sunday free. You can also work longer one day to be free another (ask us before).

We eat together after work (around 1 p.m.) and you cook your own evening meal (we give you what you need) in your house.

We live at 3,5 km from the first village, so you'll find here two bicycles.


Next train station or airport: Lorient. We pick you up there.
Languages: french, English, German.

You can either stay in a bedroom, or if you prefer a tent of course.

We do a lot of BBQs in the warmer months. We would welcome all people who are interested, including couples, but it should be noted that the tasks would generally suit the more outdoory type.
