Beschreibung
Hi, we live almost in the middle of nowhere, in the Ardèche region, not too far from Valence and Privas, in an old silk factory, with two boys (13 and 17) and 5 cats. We have many projects around the house and would like to share our space and experience.
The house is located in a natural protected valley with various kind of nice landcapes, forests, old vulcanos. The Auzène river is running through the garden.
