Program Details
Our program aims at a real cultural and family exchange. We expect sincere help from you with the maintenance of our house and garden. In return, you can expect to be treated as a full member of the family. We offer an exceptional and comfortable living environment: full meals included, private room with shower, and free access to our relaxation facilities (pool, spa, cinema room, gym and game room). It is also the ideal opportunity to share our cultures and practice languages, especially if you would like to teach us a little English!
Activities & Shift
You will help us for a maximum of 20 hours per week, which leaves you plenty of free time and 3 full days off to rest or visit. The activities are varied and depend on the needs of the moment: gardening help (tending the plants, cleaning the garden), participation in household chores, and sometimes small DIY tasks, painting or repairs. We are flexible on scheduling (morning or afternoon) so that you can make the most of the region, by bike or ATV.
Rules
We ask above all for respect, good humor, and the desire to share. Love animals: we have a cat that is part of the family. Cleanliness: please keep your room and the common areas clean after your stay. Communication: a beginner level in French is required to facilitate our daily life. Feel free to contact us if you need anything. Equipment: take care of the equipment provided (quad, bike, gym, spa). Security: simply let us know if you plan to be away for the day or for the evening.
