Help needed with vegetable garden and with especially the keeping the grass down, as it has all gone mad this spring after such a wet year. Also poplars have been felled so help needed with clearing up and cutting remaining branches. In fact a lot of help needed in all aspects of general maintenance, so if you have time on your hands and wish to do something different, come and experience French country life in a beautiful region full of history, wildlife and normally great weather!!

This is a rather big place, with different activities.
The house is very big. There's many animals: dogs, chicken, a few goats, many horses (30). There's also a very big vege garden.
At this place is a goat cheesery (my business). You're not supposed to help there.
Help is needed with the animals, the house and the garden: feed the chicken, close the chicken house at night, collect eggs, give hay and water to the horses.
In the house some cleaning is always welcome, as help for cooking.
The garden is huge! If you know something about gardening, that will be appreciated. At some time of the year, there's plenty to do in the garden.
There's always little things to fix all around the farm.
Independent people who don't mind having time on their own, will feel very well here.
I'm often on the road because of my job (delivery ...), so you may be alone sometimes.
It's possible to pick you up in Paris (cheese delivery days), in La Fleche or Angers.

bonjour

Are you interested from the middle of july to the middle of august, or more... ?

You'll work only the afternoon and you'll be free the morning. You'll have a "tourist pass" to visit every touristic site in the city (zoo, roses garden, museum...)


En fait nous cherchons deux helpers, pour juillet et pour Août.
Il y a la possibilité d'arriver en juin, ou de repartir en septembre.
Vous pouvez venir un mois, ou deux mois, mais je pense que le minimum est 3 semaines, car pour être guide il faut 3 ou 4 jours pour apprendre la visite.
Il y a 2 emplois pour les helpers : guide pour les touristes en anglais
et l'accueil de tous les visiteurs, la vente des tickets d'entrée.
Cette année, nous souhaitons que vous puissiez inter-changer, pour ne pas toujours faire la même chose. Et aussi parce que les helpers qui font la visite gagnent de l'argent avec les pour-boire et pas ceux qui font les entrées.
Il faut donc parler un peu français et un peu anglais.
Vous travaillere... more inside
