France: Homeshare in Normandy

American woman seeks vegetarian/pescetarian housemate in Le Perche, a region in Lower Normandy famous for its horses.   Mature, freethinking, Guardian and Oldie-reading, reasonably tidy woman with too many books seeks someone to share my home in the French countryside.  Must love country life, animals and have some interest in gardening, horses, cooking and classical music.  Age, race and gender not as important as shared interests, kindness and a good sense of humour.

The house: contemporary, light-filled eco-house with sunrise and sunset views, a large garden and 15 acres of land.  The 4-bedroom house, just outside a small village, is 30 minutes from the nearest station.   A visit and trial period of sharing the house are important.  Financial solvency is a must.  French language skills would be good.  References required and provided.  Possibility of short and long-term stays.  Other residents: 3 dogs, 1 cat, 5 horses and 2 donkeys – all rescues.
