    Description

    Hello ! I'm Pierre, a man who live in a house in "les monts du Lyonnais" in countryside in France. It's a former hotel and bar of 500 m2 and now i'm renovating it.

    AT my place, you can discover experience like beer production or lactofermentation food (like kefir). There are also some little finishing works in the house or some gardening. You can also learn woodworking with me if you want. Or i know how to make bread or cook a lot of different products.

    In this big house, you can have your own room. I have a lot of space !!

    Professionally, I'm working as a geomorphologist. I have my own design office (bureau d'étude) in water and rivers management GRAINEau. (there is my website : ) When I have to be on my computer for this work, I can't be here to help you all the day. But don't worry, in my house, it's cool !!
    I ask for 3h of work in the morning (not to soon, 8 is too early!!). The afternoon, you can work for a wage or have some free time. If you don't want to work for a day, it's ok !

    I have some bikes and there are some nice walk around the village.
    There is a train station (Tarare) where I can pick you up.
    The village is also located near Lyon, where there is an airport. Also, if you want to visit the city, you can take the train, there is approximately 1h 1/2 of ride.

    I'm looking for people who want to discuss and share stories !
    Gender does not matter, come as you are, with your friend, your family or anyone else ! It's better if you come with someone else. With me, you can also discover different people of the village and other houses, there are all good and very nice people.
