    Description

    Hello !

    We are very lucky to have a lot of spaces to share and a very nice view !

    We are 5 people, living with cats, dogs, chicken, sheep, falcon kestrels, (many birds actually) and sometimes friends who stay more or less long.
    Our main activities include supply of produce wheat to make, eat and sell good old-fashioned bread. We produce also vegetables fruits and plants. During the summer season, from April to September, we welcome many people travelling by bike.
    We have a lot of renovation work to improve the conditions of production and reception of cyclists : milling, dormitory, sanitary campsite, workshop bike, media library and game library.

    but fortunately some are already in place and functional because we live daily unschooling with one or more children and so we spend a lot of time playing ;)

    We really like to hosts families, (one of us really prefers to host children !)

    we have already installed a large collective kitchen, a large workshop in the barn and we have 2 caravans to lend.
    In the house we share the bathroom, a large games room, a large library and vinyl collection and internet access we don't like wifi or 5G.

    The farm is on the edge of the eurobike 6. We already host with the network of hospitality "warm shower". Most of the time they arrive in the evening and leave on the roads the next morning. Sometimes they stay a day or two to take a break from their trip or meet us a little bit.
    we practice self-management and free price with all passing cyclists

    We like to philosophize, play games, do experimental music, create stuff and stuff (and take funny photos !)we seek autonomy as much as possible and want to live in an ecological way.

    And last thing : we don't speak, read or write english very well but we like to learn !
