there is a growing popularity in low budget tourism and the use of websites like wwoof.org and workaway.info that allow travelers to connect with people all over the world and arrange to come and live in an area and work in exchange for food and lodging. we used helpx.net and found an opportunity to work at a petite chateau in a tiny village called
ventenac en minervois in the south of france resting beside the canal du midi.
we spent 7 days at the house, working a few hours each day with our afternoons free to explore the region. our hosts, sundara and david, were a couple of scottish expats that had bought the house several years ago and began hosting classical music recitals several times a year in the large salon on the main floor. they were kind enough to loan us one of the cars during our days off and we were able to visit some of the neighboring villages and beaches.
