  Beschreibung

  **Our baby is due to November - We thought we needed some time just for our family for a few weeks now, until we feel comfortable to host people again. You can contact us for a stay from December.**
  
  We are Sam and Fanny, we live with our daughter Annwenn (3 years old) in the beautiful region of South Corrèze... We would like to welcome helpers to share in our daily life, our many projects and passion for nature! We live in an old farm that needs a lot of renovating and gardening. We have a cat.
  
  We live in an old stone house, with solar panels, a cold shower outside, and dry toilets outside. Every year we improve the place so it becomes cosy and welcoming ! We have a wonderful oak tree which provides shade, where we often put a big hammock for helpers. We have big fields surrounding our farm, so we have plenty of place to host you if you have a tent, or a van / caravan. We do have a very cosy caravan to host helpers, with one big bed, hosting one adult or a couple.
  
  This year we will need help to build a small house (20m2) from scratch. The stones foundations are almost done, next we will build a wooden structure. We will need a lot of helping hands to tile the roof, and fill the walls with straw and clay from the garden !
  
  We're keen musicians and regularly play the folk guitar and flute as an informal duo. Please don't hesitate to bring your instruments!
  
  We have been volunteers many times ourselves, and will strive to provide all the comfort and warmth that we know to be so important when you're on the move. We're quite knowledgeable about the local area and South-West France in general, so we will be more than happy to involve you in local events and to give you information for weekend visits or to plan the next stages of your trip nearby.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  You can learn plenty of things concerning ecobuilding, we know a good deal about it. We can teach you some french or english. I'm afraid we are beginners about gardening, permaculture, edible forest..but we have some good books and we try to improve over the years. We spend some time every month with the organic farmers of our village to help them and learn more about their job, you are most welcome to participate if you are interested.

  Arbeit

  There will be a wide range of activities to take part in, depending on your personal interests, skills, and also on the seasons. We ask for 20 to 25 hours a week (can be 4 to 5h per day monday to friday, with free weekends, or 7h a day for 3 days a week...). These could include babysitting, cooking, working on the house or veggie patch... We decide together each day, depending on what needs to be done and of course what you are willing to participate with.
  
  This year, Fanny stays at home with Annwenn (most of the time) and Sam is working outside the farm. So basically you could help Fanny in her day to day life, and / or help with an eco-friendly building project !
  
  We both have building skills and we can teach you how to build with wood, earth, stones and straw. We want to transform our farm into a beautiful, natural home using environmentally friendly methods and materials. We also have some side projects (dry toilets, bread oven, summer kitchen...) that you could help with from scratch.
  
  But, this year we are focusing on building a small house near the farm. Come and help us build it only with renewable or natural materials ! If you do not want (or can not) help us build, maybe you would be interested in cooking meals for builders, or taking care of our daughter... As said before, there are so much things to do that can choose what help you want to bring to us !

  Was noch ...

  We can show you the nice villages nearby, we can lend you bikes, and take you to various cultural events. It is possible to canoe on the dordogne river nearby (during the summer). There are some ranches where you can horse ride nearby. The local markets (meyssac, vayrac, beaulieu..) take place once a week all year round. There are some music concerts in the area, some local bars where you can try local beer or wine. There is a cinema in Vayrac (15 kms ride ). The bus can take you to the main cities (Brive la gaillarde and Tulle, 45 minutes ride) were you can go to more concerts and museums. You can walk for hours in the lovely countryside and forest from our place, or we can advise you where to go for a nice walk in the area. And most of all, go swimming in the Dordogne river when it is hot!
