Beschreibung
Welcome to the Landes region :) Since 2011, I've been hosting volunteers. Here, we live simply, between gardening, baking, and sharing. Right now, we're working on the garden: planting fruit trees and shrubs, weeding, and setting up a shared vegetable patch with the neighbors. We bake bread and pastries twice a week. We're also renovating our future A-frame house: installing paneling and doing small DIY projects. We're using recycled materials, both for environmental reasons and because we have very limited resources. We're also working on a project for 2027: emergency housing for women who are victims of domestic violence. If you're looking for a quiet place to stay for at least 15 days and lend a hand, you've come to the right place. What we offer: A private caravan with a private composting toilet and a shared bathroom. Vegetarian meals are shared with joy. Here, we recycle, both materials and food. We have a zero-waste plan. We're happy to share our baking/pastry/recipes if you're interested. There's a lake 15 minutes away and the beach is an hour away (by car if you have a vehicle). It's a family atmosphere, based on respect and mutual support. What we need: 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. Flexible hours (just early mornings in the summer because it's hot). The main tasks: gardening, weeding, and clearing brambles in the sun. It's physical but rewarding. Twice a week: chopping/stacking wood for our bread oven. Help with baking if you're interested in learning. Currently: helping with paneling/DIY projects for the A-frame house. Everything is done together in a friendly atmosphere. It's hot here from mid-May to the end of September. You need to enjoy that and be in good physical condition. One important detail: I have a physical disability/back problem. I share information, organize, and cook, but I can't always physically exert myself. That's precisely why your independent presence is so valuable. We'll adapt together, without judgment, to each person's pace. Who we're looking for: Helpful, motivated people who are environmentally conscious, supportive, and resourceful. Independent and kind. A basic level of French is required, as my father, whom I care for, lives here and loves to chat. Important: There's no Wi-Fi/TV here (you'll need a 4G or 5G data plan). If you enjoy reading, writing, drawing, playing music, or simply contemplating nature, you'll be in heaven. Bring some books or a solo activity for your downtime; you'll be comfortable. Thank you for your time and energy ❤️ Here, we share everything: meals, skills, laughter, and a slice of simple life. If this rhythm resonates with you, tell me your exact dates, a few lines about yourself and your physical/gardening experience, what you enjoy doing, and what you're looking for. I reply to all personalised messages.
Bienvenue dans les Landes :)
Depuis 2011, j accueille des volontaires , ici on vit simplement, entre jardin, boulange et partage.
En ce moment on aménage le jardin, plantation d’arbres fruitiers, d’arbustes, désherbage, mise en place d’un potager commun avec les Voisins.
On Boulange, et on pâtissent aussi deux fois par semaine.
On aménage notre future maison en A : pose lambris, petit bricolage. On fait aussi avec des matériaux de récupération, par souci d’écologie, et aussi parce qu’on a des tout petits moyens.
Et on porte un projet pour 2027 un hébergement d’urgence pour femmes victimes de violences intrafamiliales.
Si tu cherches un endroit calme pour poser tes valises au moins 15 jours et donner un coup de main concret, tu es au bon endroit.
Ce qu’on propose ensemble :
Une caravane privée avec toilettes sèches privatif + salle de bain commune. Repas végétariens partagés avec joie. Ici, on fait de la récup, autant sur les matériaux que sur l’alimentation . On a un plan 0 gaspi.
Transmission de la boulange/pâtisserie/recettes si ça t’intéresse.
Il y a un Lac à 15min et la plage est à 1h ( de voiture si tu es véhiculé)
Ambiance famille , respect, entraide.
Ce dont on a besoin :
5h/jour, 5j/7. Horaires flexibles (juste tôt le matin l’été car il fait chaud)
Le cœur du travail : jardin, désherbage, dé-ronçage sous le soleil. C’est physique mais gratifiant.
2x/sem : couper/ranger le bois pour notre four à pain.
Aide à la boulange si ça t’intéresse d apprendre
En ce moment :
aide pose lambris/bricolage pour la maison en A.
Tout est fait ensemble et dans la bonne humeur.
Mi-mai à fin septembre il fait chaud ici. Il faut aimer ça et avoir une bonne condition physique.
Petite précision importante : j’ai un handicap physique/dos. Je transmets, j’organise, je cuisine, mais je ne peux pas toujours forcer physiquement. C’est justement pour ça que ta présence autonome est précieuse. On s’adapte ensemble, sans jugement, au rythme de chacun.
Qui on cherche :
Des personnes aidantes, motivées, sensibles à l’écologie, la solidarité et la débrouille .
Autonomes et bienveillantes.
Français parlé un minimum car mon papa dont je m’occupe vit ici et adore échanger .
Important :
Pas de wifi/TV ici ( prévoir un forfait 4G ou 5G ) .
Si tu aimes lire, écrire, dessiner, jouer de la musique ou juste contempler la nature, tu vas te régaler.
Prévois quelques bouquins ou une activité solo pour les moments off, tu seras bien.
Merci de ton temps et de ton énergie ❤️
Ici on partage tout : repas, savoir-faire, rires, et un bout de vie simple.
Si ce rythme te parle, dis-moi tes dates exactes + quelques lignes sur toi et ton expérience physique/jardin/ ce que tu aimes faire et recherches .
