  Hello everyone !
  
  If you are travelling and want to discover this lovely and lively part of France, we are welcoming people, as we are preparing the garden for the winter and planning some trees and bushes planting for an new hedge.
  
  We are Luc and Katia, brother and sister; we live in a communal setting with people of all ages and a few nationalities, in a country home in the south of France. The house is located just below Le Poët-Laval, a small medieval village in the Drôme department (Rhône-Alpes region), 30 minutes by car from Montélimar and 1h30 from Lyon, Marseille, Grenoble or Montpellier.
  
  We aim to live a life in harmony with nature. We use solar energy for some of our hot water and heat, we have a large organic vegetable garden, make our own compost, take care of the forest and fix and upgrade the living spaces ourselves. We intend to create a place based on community sharing, intergenerational and intercultural exchange and creative explorations.
  
  We have both traveled around the world and we love good conversation and sharing our experiences. Besides French, our mother tongue, we speak English, Portuguese and a little bit of Spanish.
  
  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities:
  
  This is a great place to discover both the French and Provençal cultural environment. You will be able to visit typical small villages, open air markets and discover local food (goat cheese, wine, olives, tapenade…), including lots of organic products, since Drôme has many organic farmers.
  
  Here you can also enjoy the beauty of nature. Mountain and forest hiking routes are abundant, some of them leaving from our house. You will also find climbing areas and if you are lucky (depending on the season) you can take a bath in the river!
  
  This region is culturally very active, especially in this time of the year, with concerts, festivals, theater and more.
  We both have artistic, creative and personal development backgrounds. Katia is a puppeteer and singer, and Luc is a creative carpenter and a “human design” guide.
  We will be happy to share what we have gathered along the road with you.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  This is a great place to discover both the french and Provençal culture. You can visit typical Provençal villages, open air markets and discover local food (goat cheese, wine, olives, tepenade…), including lots of biologic products, since Drôme has a lot of biologic producers.
  
  Here you can also enjoy nature in its purest form. Mountain and forest hiking routes are really abundant, you have climbing areas and if you are lucky (depending on the season) you can even take a bath in the river!
  
  This region is also culturally very active and, if the confinement allows it, you can find concerts, festivals, theater…
  
  Our house does not fall behind in the artistic aspect since Katia is a puppeteer and singer, and Luc is a really creative carpenter and a “human design” guide. We will be happy to share everything we know with you.
  
  We are also willing to devote some time to English and French learning if you want!

  Help here will always take place in the house or taking care of the land:
