Urgently needed : Some help in the daily chores, and some baby sitting.
We are a binational , bicultural couple. My wife, aged 22, a hairdresser, is from Madagascar, but speaks fluent french. I am 49, a international consultant, and native french. (The man on the photograph is NOT me, but a costumed figurant in a historic event in Provence) ! We live right in the center of Avignon, a lively tourist and university town, atop an historic building mostly rented to students and tourists in the summer. We would provide our Au Pair free semi independent accomodation, with own bedroom and bathroom, acces to an independent kitchenette and study/sitting room (we have an other living room upstairs), and would share about three evening meals a week.
Ideal position for a student (possibly two) with a limited budget, a desire to remain independent, and a desire to help a young mum with a lot on her hands. Our kid's birth is due this month. Apply here, or through the following web site.

Back to Basics : the key to a wonderful holiday
Good food, nice people, lovely landscape, intriguing local stories, a degree of conviviality at night :
Avignon has all of this.
We can also advise you on special interest trips :
- For instance, for the book enthusiasts : Second-hand and specialist bookshops, itinerant book markets and public libraries (In nearby Carpentras, the Inguimbertian library ( l'Inguimbertine) is not to be missed).
- Side trip to the Alpilles : only 25 km from Avignon, Saint Remy de Provence, where accomodation is expensive and hard to find, is a world in itself, with many museums and art galleries. Walking around the tiny walled-in city is a pleasure - alas shared by throngs of people. Wandering in the contryside around town is a bit disappointing since the lanes are not interconnected any more ( most of the farms have become multimilllionaire's villas, and the major roads have a bit too much traffic). Van Gogh, ex resident of the local psychiatric hospital, would nowadays have a though time wandering around.
Anyway, why do we publish this young donkey as side photography ? Well because we like him ; he is from around Saint Remy, and although he does'nt read much, like us he knows his way around.
