    We are François and Coline, a couple in their thirties! After traveling to many countries and discovering different cultures and projects, we took on the challenge of creating our own corner of paradise and decided to renovate a Norman farmhouse with 2 hectares of land. We want to create an independent garden with vegetable garden, orchard and henhouse.

    We are François and Coline, a couple in their thirties! After traveling to many countries and discovering different cultures and projects, we took on the challenge of creating our own corner of paradise and decided to renovate a Norman farmhouse with 2 hectares of land. We want to create an independent garden with vegetable garden, orchard and henhouse.

    Creation of a walipini greenhouse (buried bioclimatic greenhouse), an orchard and vegetable garden area. Tree planting, seedlings, and biodiverse spaces. The experiment consists of making it as fertile as possible. We also want to create a mobile chicken coop.

    Activities WWOOFers can participate in:
    - Preparing the vegetable garden for the next season
    - Construction of a walipini greenhouse
    - Creation of a pizza oven
    - Creation of a brazero
    - Repair or DIY animal installations, fencing, etc.
    - Creation of a henhouse,
    - Sowing rose bushes or plants
    - Mow part of the garden
    - Clear brush
    - We are always up for and listening to new projects...

    We provide food and can provide you with a sheltered tent in an (open) barn. Once the farmhouse is isolated we can welcome you there.
