La Vannière

My home was built in 1785 and is in the middle of the mediaeval part of this quaint little town. The village is surrounded by mountains, vineyards and a river, so it is in the countryside, but is also within walking distance of bars, restaurants and shops. There is easy access to reliable public transport.

The village is situated within the Haut-Languedoc Regional Nature Park The park provides a habitat for more than 240 species of birds, in a stunningly diverse range of climate and scenery. It also provides a home for mouflons, successfully reintroduced from Corsica.

I am a friendly, warm, caring and intelligent person who also likes to have fun. You can expect to be treated with kindness and respect, but also as one of the family. PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU CANNOT SPEAK ENGLISH, THIS POSITION IS NOT FOR YOU. IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO, OR DO NOT LIKE ANIMALS, PLEASE DO NOT APPLY, AS I HAVE PETS. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT I DO NOT PROVIDE A HOT MEAL FOR LUNCH - THIS IS SOMETIMES PROVIDED IN THE EVENING, BUT NOT EVERY NIGHT. Thank you!

My time with Michele at La Vanniere has been absolutely amazing! It was truly a life-changing experience. My plan was to stay for 7 days, and I ended up staying for over a month, so I highly recommend it! There was honestly not one thing I would’ve changed about my stay with Michele and her three cuties (Luce, Tibbs, and Zo <3). The room was very nice! The work was not difficult (thoroughly explained), and I had more than enough time to explore the local towns and meet lots of new people! We had a lot of fun together! Thank you for everything, Michele<3. I’ll be back!

Michele was a delight to be around, she runs a very beautiful BnB and the place is a dream! The surrounding village and nature trails gave me a lot to explore on my off time and the work was easy to understand with easy hours. Michele and her three sweet pets are gracious hosts and I got to experience local culture

My stay with Michelle was great and I'll always remember it. The village is really cute, you have the river close and easy access to all the other villages or even Montpellier and the beach. Michele was really thoughtful about my vegetarian diet. Thank you for everything 🫶🏻
