Description
I have lived in the village of La Feuillie in Normandy for many years. I am originally from England and I am an artist- painter by profession.
The house I live in dates from the 18th century and was originally a farm.
I have renovated an outbuilding which is now a gîte where I welcome people from many different countries.
The garden measures about 6000 sq m and I have flower beds, shrubs, trees.
I need help in the upkeep of the garden and also need some odd jobs doing around the property.
We are right on the edge of the Forest de Lyons, the biggest and most beautiful beech forest in France.
The person would live in the gîte.
The area is rich in many cultural activities.
La Feuillie is 35 km from Rouen and 100 km from Paris.
J'habite le village de La Feuillie en Normandie depuis de nombreuses années.
Anglaise d'origine, je suis artiste-peintre de profession.
La propriété date du 18ème siècle et était à l'origine une très grande ferme.
J'ai fait rénover une dépendance en gîte où je reçois des gens de toute nationalité.
Le jardin mesure environ 6000 m carrés et il y a de nombreuses parterres de fleurs, arbustes, arbres.
Nous sommes tout près de la Forêt de Lyons, la plus belle et la plus grande hetraie de France.
J'ai surtout besoin d'aide pour entretenir le jardin et pour des petits travaux de bricolage.
La personne sera hébergée dans le gîte à côté de la maison.
Sur le plan culturel il y a beaucoup de choses qui passent dans la région.
La Feuillie est à 35 km de Rouen et à 100 km de Paris.Types of help and learning opportunities
