Get Wood in Rural France!
France
Durations of Program: 2-4 weeks, 5-8 weeks, 9-12 weeks, 3-6 months, 7-12 months and 1-2 years
Typical Duration of Program: 2-4 weeks
Description:
Bored of your current job/situation/boy or girlfriend? Fancy using all your skills, and more importantly, developing new ones while living on a 14 hectare ex-farm property in rural France? We at Fontaine De Tarrieu have the solution for you! At FDT we do everything and more. Hotel, b+b, building work, gardening, maintenance, lumber jacking, regular paintball, working office, goat herding (you'll understand if you come), snail racing (ok, maybe not that)! We are looking for fun, happy-go-lucky, and hopefully multi-skilled people to come stay with our family and our team. Initially on a bed and board basis you will be expected to fulfill a working week, which could involve anything from chopping wood for winter to building a new house on our land. In return, we will feed you, house you, and help you untap abilities you never knew you had! If you think you've got the skills to pay no bills, get in contact with us via the link. PS: French would be useful, but isn't necessary. Spoken English, great, Dutch good, Japanese, not yet...
