Description
We are a large ecological vegetarian family who live beautifully on 60 hectares in an old renovated mas, secluded in the middle of the pure rugged Pyrenean mountain nature on a small mountain stream with waterfalls. We have 8 children between the ages of 6 and 20 and many animals. We have a small horse farm with 9 horses (Merens, Pyrenees mountain horse) many other animals and a vegetable garden.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live beautifully secluded in the middle of the mountains, in rugged, pure nature with our children and many animals. We are an ecological vegetarian family (8 children between 6 and 20 years old)
We live in simplicity, have our own facilities (own drinking water, septic tank, solar panels, etc.) We build and renovate everything ourselves. There are many challenges, a lot of experience to learn from.
