    Description

    We are a couple with a 15 years old child, a dog, 2 cats and a donkey. We live in a natural park, 30 minutes ride from the Mediterranean Sea. We love nature walks and yoga, we are rather vegetarian. We offer 3 cottages for rent all year in a land of 1 hectare .
    Our project is to live closer to nature by cultivating our values of sharing, conviviality and well-being. To manage our place, Marie takes care of the administration, the stewardship, yoga class and massages, Martin maintain the house, the places of reception, the garden and the swimming pool. We receive groups of 10 to 12 peoples for 1 week, once or twice a month between April and october so we need to reform some part of the house and outside place to get ready!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live in Signes near a traditional village of the south of France, known for its "green tourism" (paragliding, mountain biking, equestrian walks ...) and we are 1 hour from Marseille, Aix en Provence and Toulon. Many walks are nearby, beaches and coves are less than 45 minutes by car. We are both teachers of Kundalini Yoga. Martin can also transmit his knowledge in construction ... Together we speak: French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Vietnamese!
