La Giraudiere hosts three Swedish volunteers\"Swedish<\/a><\/h1>\n

Earlier this summer La Giraudiere had the pleasure of welcoming three Swedish volunteers.\u00a0 Linn, Caroline, and Sophie are all students who have studied French, so they were eager to try out their French skills and immerse themselves in the culture of the French countryside.<\/p>\n

The girls’ hearty appetites were matched by their enthusiasm and hard work.<\/p><\/div>\n

All three of these volunteers tested the logistics of LG’s food supply.\u00a0 Fridges, freezers, and larders were laid bare following their stay, which was only to be expected once you saw their input into the project.<\/p>\n

Linn, who had some previous experience with restoration work, passed her stay volunteering by preparing and painting the rear doors to the old house.\u00a0 Sophie picked up the ancient art of cr\u00e9pi<\/em>.*\u00a0 Caroline, who was a great cook, helped keep house and prepare meals, volunteering alongside Christine from Ireland.<\/p>\n

Paul added, “A big thank you goes out to the three of you.\u00a0 I’m sure Sweden must be very proud of you all.”<\/p>\n

La Giraudiere appreciates the hard work these ladies engaged in and we wish them all the best for their upcoming time at university.<\/p>\n

*Cr\u00e9pi<\/em> is the French term for rendering with original materials such as chaux, a based cement product from Saint Astier.<\/p>\n
