Description
I am looking for someone who can help me maintain a small farm: gardening, weeding, possibly clearing bushes... but also animal care, perhaps repairing fences, tidying up, etc. Long story short: I need your help in cleaning the mess in my small farm. Gardening, weeding, clearing brambles, that kind of stuff, mainly. Also maintaining fences, tidying things up, cleaning rubbish...
Je recherche une personne capable de m'aider dans l'entretien d'une petite ferme : jardinage, désherbage, éventuellement débroussaillage... mais aussi soins aux animaux, peut-être réparation de clôtures, rangement, etc.

What else ...
There's virtually no public transportation apart from the railway station (trains to Paris, Caen, Rouen and Le Mans). The town is a bit far to walk to but there'll be a bicycle at your disposal.
Recreational activities will seem limited if you're not the quiet, nature-loving sort, but the area is really lovely. The nearest beach is <30 km away.
We welcome language students. One of us is a trained and experienced French teacher so be prepared to hone your skills! We are eager to learn about your language too.
We welcome people from all walks of life, no matter how different from us. We do expect a similar openness on your side.
We particularly welcome people from Asia and the Middle East or people with an interest in/a taste for these regions and their culture.
We welcome non-smokers and vegetarian people. We don't smoke but our dietary habits are not 100% vegetarian.
