    Beschreibung

    We are a 70+ couple, living in 17th century farmhouse. Restauration is in progress. We love each other , our place, the space, the view, the Tulikivi stoves.

    We do not smoke, drink alcohol or use drugs. Eat healthy, home made whole food.

    Altitude 500m, rural environment, dead end road, view on Vercors and pre-Alpes, real seasons! Nearest city at 14km.

    We are both amateur clowns, love jazz music, going to cultural events, sharing our privileged situation with others and finishing our home. Languages are a daily joy to us: French, Dutch, English, German, Schwyzerdütsch and (Dutch) Sign Language.

    Workout clearing shrubs to prevent fire around 17th century farm on a slope in the Drôme (France).
    We need to clean up an area around our home to prevent forest fire. You could help us separate wood we can use for the Tulikivi and transport green waste to the reception center.
    Splitting and storing logs with a Logmatic. Using a hand saw for branches.
    Our house and land have different levels, situated on the slope of St. Pancrace, so everything is a workout!
    Help in the garden is also welcome.Could you teach us to use a scythe? Would you like to help us collect stones that are scattered on our land? We need them to complete our small building projects.
    We usually do tasks together and have meals outside as long as possible.

    Schwyzerdütsch/Mundart is my favorite. I am Swiss, but never lived in Switzerland. I was born in Norway an understand a little Scandinavian. I would like to learn more. Swedish is the most easy to pick up for me.
