    We are on a 3 acre property with 3 sheep, garden, around fifteen chickens, 6 ducks and 2 dogs. We have a cabinetmaking workshop. Guillaume is a cabinetmaker and Isabelle is a naturopath. There is a river 2 minutes walk away where you can swim and kayak (we have 2); there are bikes for riding. Several walking trails are nearby where you can go wild camping.
