    Description

    we are a family of 4 and soon to be 5! Nicolas 41, Milène 39, Liou 14 and Martin 8. We live closed to the ocean 10 minutes nearby Contis. Surfing paradise!
    Our place is in the forest in Mezos.
    we live on a large property which requires a lot of maintenance and as I am pregnant it is complicated for me. So i need help. So i couldn’t surf with you this year !

    if you are a motivated, dynamic, autonomous and respectful person. If you are a handyman and you are not afraid to put your hands in the ground and physical activities. If you like wide open spaces, nature, the ocean, the forest, you will be comfortable here with us.
    i love to cook and play music and sing. i could give french lessons.

    Accommodation

    Bedroom or caravan or your van
    the bedding will depend on the current project and the places available. We offer a small independent apartment next to our accommodation that we prefer for couples or pairs.
    And we propose a large caravan which is on the land where Nico grows the vegetables 5 minutes away in the next village, more closed to ocean…
    Having a vehicle here or good legs for pedaling is a must. We can provide a mountain bike.
    In summer there is a free shuttle to get to the beach, there are holds to take your surfboard.
