Description
This is a life progect, a point of view on our future, first of all an exchange of ideas and work, of art and nature, a building site in evolution, reflecting on how it is possible to do without necessarily resorting to overbuilding, but rather reappropriating of ancient crafts and working methods, (dry stone walls, earthenware, raw earth bamboo, etc.) Our house is being renovated in self-construction and we need the workawayers to help us with the work; whoever comes to us can learn how to make bricks from earth, to build with raw earth, learn to work the bamboo, see what the environment offers and transform what it offers us in resources for our restructuring, an experience that will then be useful for those who decide to restore a an old house as we did.

During the stay it may be that courses are held with teachers on the most varied techniques of green building and materials recovery, the house, as well as being our home is a school yard where we organize courses to learn ancient or new techniques that we need to go forward with the restructuring. We also need a hand to take care of our animals, which become more and more numerous, and the garden, at the moment the inhabitants are 2 humans, 3 dogs, 5 cats, 1 donkey and 1 pony.
We live in the woods, but in a few minutes you can get to the bar of the village for every extra need, to get to our house there is a short path, it takes less than 5 minutes. For the moment we are organized to accommodate only in the summer months, from May to September.
