  Description

  Hello my friends !
  
  We are a little family (Fabien 41, Nadia 40, Quetzalli 3 years, Tikal 9 months ) fond of land, soil, earth and… sea!
  
  Currently : We need some help with babysitting, in exchange of lodging, food and 3 weekly hours of French lessons. Please get in touch in order to discuss more details, there's so much to be told!
  
  Fabien : has just started his production, of small fruits (strawberries and Co.) and ancient varieties of veggies, very close to the beach, 800 m, and to Meneham, an ancient fishing village, classified site. It is an hectarea.
  
  Nadia : love harvesting seaweeds, I'm a farmer of the sea ! I'd love to share all the secrets of the sea gardens unveiled during high coefficients ranges of tides. Several hundreds yards, or even miles of white sandy beaches strewn with rocks, give us the opportunity to discover an extraordinary world.
  
  We live in the Legendary Coast (Cote des Légendes), downtown the village of Plounéour-Trèz, in an idyllic spot, with our two children.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We need some help to better integrate our children to our field and seaside activities, as we decided to live and enjoy life, we decided that unschoooling would suit us best. With them we speak and we sing daily four langages : French, Italian, Spanish and English. We welcome many others !
  
  We would like to share all our enthusiasm, knowledge, we are looking forward to meet higly motivated « workawayers »  willing to integrate our family, willing to share an unusual and joyful lifestyle, ‘cause… life is beautiful !
  
  Nous habitons dans la Côte des Légendes, le centre bourg de Plounéour-Trez, dans un cadre idyllique, avec nos deux enfants. Nous avons besoin de votre soutien pour mieux intégrer nos enfants (et les votre aussi :D ) dans nos activités champêtres et maritimes avec bienveillance, et nous comptons sur vous. Avec eux, nous parlons et chantons français, italien, espagnol et anglais au quotidien. Nous donnons la bienvenue aux autres langues !
  
  Nous partageons tout notre enthousiasme, nos connaissances, nous attendons des « workawayers » motivés à partager un style de vie inédit et joyeux, qui s’intègrent la famille, puisque… la vita è bella !

  Help

  It is an unusual 3 projects in 1.
  Fabien needs help with the organic/permaculture "strawberries and ancient variety of veggies" farm: seeding, planting, looking after. He is very passionate about permaculture and mycorhize agriculture. Learning and good time guaranteed!
  
  Nadi : depending of the tidal coefficients (minimum 80), will do harvesting and processing seaweeds, our coast is one of the richest in Palmaria Palmata, Ulva, Himanthalia Elongata, Kombu. Scissors and old backpaks are our main working tools.
  
  Fabien and Nadia: we need a big help with integrating our two children (Quetzalli 3 years and Tikal 9 months) to our activities, in a playful way. We do not look for simply childcare, as we believe that they can learn a lot from "outdoor" supported by you and us, and "indoor" with books, toys , cooking, singing, playing. We appreciate the Montessori philosophy as well as Steiner and Freinet. Quetzalli speaks already French, Italian and Spanish. She's starting singing and counting in English and Portuguese. We welcome all the cultures and languages.
