LA BARONNERIE

UPDATE AUGUST 15TH - THE PROPERTY IS CLOSED 1ST to around 10th September and we can accept applications as from around that date till end of September again.

immerse into rural France in a small hamlet in between two towns and get French tuiton, if you wish to learn, better or perfectionate yr French. We are only about 1,5 hrs away from lovely, medieval LA Rochelle and its seaside pleasures. We are very laid back during free time, but expect a hands on serious mentality during working hours, punctuality and thorougness...what s worth doing, is worth doing well.
we d expect you to be healthy and fit, adaptable, flexible, punctual and thorough.

we are a mature austrian/french couple and can be considered as workers on a same or different working schedule. During work we expect you to pull through with the tasks. normally it would be 3 hrs in the morning, 2 late afternoon..but can also accept 5 hrs in a row with a 30 minutes break in between for coffee or calls, then 2 hrs more, take away luncheon and tuiton after mutual agreement. you will get breakfast ingredients so as to make your own, a snack at lunchtime to take out onto the balcony or garden and the evening meal will be taken with us. We are ready to help with hints to outings and events in the region and drive you to the local bus as an extra service for free, when we have to do in town or when you plan an outing. Unfortunately our pool is out of order thats why we offer the possibility of a 3 days seaside stay with the holiday feel at La Rochelle or Saintes at your own costs, and as long as the 50 hrs per fortnight get done, but you will find youth hostels etc. there. pse note July and August are the peak season with all it implies.
