Description
Hello
We have finished our house in a collective and natural place,. Here, 10 families have built their own house with wood, straw and earth. It's in south of France (near Montpellier). We're a couple with 2 children.
We now don't need people all the time as when we were building the house, but people who want to come and help sometimes here and there can be welcome.
We will need some people to help especially at the beginning of may (between 9th and 15th). We will make a collective "chantier" on the collective "terrain".
We will repair some stone walls in the gardens, make a slab for a future collective workshop, and prepare isolation of collective house.
Depending on how many people come to help us, we will see how about accomodation, in the houses or inside tents !
There is a collective kitchen and bathroom you can use.
Welcome, and don't hesitate if you have any questions.
