Live by the water and help us create a community-driven project in Burgundy, France

  Beschreibung

  Join us at our project in the Burgundy region, where we bring new life to the historic lock house on the Dijon-Paris cycle route. Our project aims to offer a cozy café, a free bike repair station, and vibrant cultural events, all while respecting the environment and promoting sustainable living. Come relax by the water and be part of our community-driven initiative.
  
  The idea came from eight folks, aged 25 to 35, most of them living in Joigny. We fell for this cute little house and wanted to start a project involving everyone in the community, no matter their age or background, to bring us all closer together. We only got the keys to the house in May 2024, so it's still a work in progress. We're planning to spend the spring fixing it up to make it cozy for next summer. Currently living in the house to care of it during winter is Sylv (they/them), and during the work periods, some other members of the association will come and get work done.
  
  We all speak English and some of us can speak German or Spanish.

Also feel free to share your passions by organising various activities (music, sport event, games). Join us to be part of a vibrant community and gain valuable experiences in a beautiful setting.
