    English native speaker, French spoken also Polish neighbours. Wide circle of local contacts. The Corbieres is a unique corner of France with its distinctive rural scene. We intend to host by introducing the Workawayer to local people and a wide circle of friends. There is an opportunity to study in peace and quiet and be introduced into local society. Nature is on the doorstep and there is scope to visit the rich Cathare history locally including 7 historic castles and a variety of ancient prehistoric sites. Stunning hiking countryside.
