Description
We are 7 people, friends and family, living in the nice countryside area of South Gers. We own a big house and a beautiful garden where a lot of things happen : from concerts to yoga classes, cards games, cinema, clown shows, handycrafts workshops, flea market, Zero Waste day... Everybody can join and propose what they would like to see happen in the Manot, the name of this old house...
We have a lot of different spaces and rooms, for friends, family, and some customers as we are also running the place as a guest house. If you come here, you will meet a lot of people for sure !

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As said upper, the Manot is a place where a lot of people come and go. You will be include into a entertaining social life, but as the house is big and you will have your own bedroom, you can also choose to have privacy whenever you want.
You can learn a lot thanks to all the activities we share with the organization, and also with all the different works we can take part together in the house and the garden.

Accommodation
You will have a private bedroom with private bathroom.
We also provide food. Of course you can also learn how to cook with us... Or share your receipes... Or just cut vegetables ! :D
We can eat meat sometimes. Two of us are mostly vegetarian. So everything is possible.
What else ...
It would be better if you had your own means of transport, as we are in the deep countryside. But if you don't have one, we can lend you a scooter. Otherwise, we will propose you to come with us everytime we go somewhere (local markets, town, concerts...).
Also, we love music, 2 of us are regular travelers, and as most french we like to share a good dinner together preceded by the famous "apéro"... We are friendly people, we like to laugh, not being too much serious...
But ! We also respect the intimacy of everyone and the need to be alone and quiet. So... No pressure ;)
