We're looking for a couple who can stand-in whilst our current house sitters need to return home for a few weeks. Our 'Domaine' is situated in a remote area 12.5 miles from Carcassonne and consists of one large house and a small cottage together with 73 hectares of land, mainly fields and garrigue, a pool and a tennis court. Your duties would include maintaining both properties, grounds and garden maintenance (not too onerous at this time of year), some minor pool maintenance and looking after 2 lively dogs, a cat and 2 small birds. The place is quite remote so you need to be happy with your own company but the views, birdlife and wildlife are stunning and there is plenty of walking or cycling to be had. You will be based in the cottage as the main house may be used by friends or family at some point during your stay. Internet access is good - there is a TV -not many channels but can be used along with a DVD player.
