Bonjour mes amis (good evening my friends),I ask this question for both personal reasons and for others who I have heard asking the same question in the expat community.
I spend two or three months in burgundy every year and often have a thing or to that needs doing on my ldv campervan and would happily pay the right person to do any works that are too complicated for me. Another option would be to swap trades ! I am an experienced landscape gardener who builds and repairs dry stone walls,and would be willing to do work for work done,therefore saving us both a few of our hard earned euros!!
As a fluent(ish) french speaker,it is no problem for me to go to a local garage,though it is not always easy to find a decent one,or at least one that you trust.
I have currently got play in my kingpin (shut up before you start simon and tigger,I am referring to the van) and would like to get that sorted out sometime this autumn. I will be in burgundy for the next 2-3 weeks (currently near saulieu) then have got to nip down to a regular 3 week gardening job in savoie,but then will be back up here for the end of october,so if anyone knows of anyone available at these times please let me know.
If you are a good and reasonably priced mechanic,do let me know your whereabouts and I could always pass on your contact details to anyone else who asks me.
Thanks in advance
Luv'n'stuff
