Description

We are Narmin (teacher, theater director) and László (forester). Our property sits on a hill in the middle of the forest-rich Dordogne. It's a former farmhouse, over 200 years old, with a large meadow and a wooded plot. The house has a guest room with bathroom, which is available if there are no holiday guests. The property also offers space for a motorhome or for camping. It is surrounded by just a few houses and the nearest shops are about 8 km away. Before moving here, we lived in Berlin. We've now been living here for 5 years, and since then a lot has changed in the house and the barn, and the garden has been redesigned. By now we have many contacts here. Nevertheless, we wish for an ever more diverse exchange with interesting people. We do most of the work ourselves. We need help with many small jobs, such as removing rust from and painting the iron gates, getting a small Qek Junior caravan back into shape inside and out. Building a terrace border for the pool. Helping hands are also always needed in the garden. We need your help 5 days a week with 5 hours of work each day. We offer free accommodation and 3 meals per day. We cook mainly vegetarian; meat is only served now and then (for helpers too). Alcohol is not part of the menu. Excessive alcohol consumption is not permitted. We're happy to prepare the meals together. We now have a holiday apartment and a holiday room. When there are no holiday guests, the holiday room with a separate bathroom is available for you to stay in. Our house is located in southwest France between Bordeaux and the Massif Central. This popular holiday region impresses with its scenic beauty and well-preserved architectural sights, and is home to numerous world-class archaeological sites. The 147 prehistoric sites and 25 decorated caves of the Vézère valley have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. In addition to the Lascaux cave with its Neolithic cave paintings, the Stone Age finds of Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon man are a big draw. One of the world's most significant Stone Age finds was discovered in 1896 in the area of our municipality, with the Neanderthal burial site at La Ferrassie. The numerous castles and châteaux are well worth seeing, some rivers can be explored by canoe, and well-preserved old houses characterize the landscape. The landscape of the Périgord is also known for its black winter truffles, which are among the most expensive in the world.
