    Description

    EN: We live on a farm in Charente surrounded by a large garden in the middle of fields ( sometimes sunflowers ), we have an artistic soul: four instance, my father could share his passion for creating hydrosols and elixirs with you. He restored this house and built a beautiful vintage caravan, but now he needs help to keep it in good condition.
    =========
    Nous habitons une ancienne ferme charentaise entourée d'un grand jardin au milieu des champs, nous avons une âme d'artiste : mon père pourra par exemple vous partager sa passion pour la création d'hydrolats et élixirs. Il a restauré cette maison et construit une roulotte, mais il a désormais besoin d'aide pour la garder dans un état correct.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    EN: There are beautiful walks to be taken around (on foot, by bike, on horseback...). Within a 30-minute drive, you can enjoy the beach and visit popular tourist destinations such as Fort Boyard, the transporter bridge, Les Sables d'Olonne, La Rochelle, and Île de Ré.

    If you wish to explore the surroundings during your free time, I recommend having at least one bicycle ( we have some if necessary, but they are old ). On-site, there is space and tools available for practicing various artistic and sports activities (as well as taking sunbaths by the pool).
    =========
    Il y a de belles promenades à faire aux alentours (à pied, à vélo, à cheval...). à 30 min en voiture, vous pourrez profiter de la plage et de lieux très touristiques ( le Fort Boyard, le pont transbordeur, les sables d'Olonne, La Rochelle, l'île de Ré... ).
    Si vous souhaitez découvrir les environs pendant votre temps libre, je vous conseille d'avoir au moins un vélo.
    Sur place, il y a de la place et des outils pour pratiquer de nombreuses activités artistiques et sportives. (ainsi que des siestes au soleil au bord de la piscine)
