    Description

    Woodland, horses, the beautiful French southwest sun… I will be welcoming you at my stables located in the Tarn, very close to Albi city.
    I am Camille, childfree 38 yo and living in a yurt. Nala my dog, Taka and Gaia my cats share my life. 

I am in charge of 20 horses and owner of 3. 

I am a native French speaker, I speak a bit of Spanish and English too. I would love to develop those two languages. I would be happy to show you around the animated city of Albi with you or share a good old meal in the quiet country side according to your preferences.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    If you like horses then I will be happy to teach you how to be around them, understand them, and even ride. 
If you are already a horse person, you will love it!
    You will be meeting with horse owners during your stay, all very nice and warm. 
I hope learning your language and share a bit of French during the day to day, around the making of a meal, an apéro, hikes, a bathe… simple life. If you have some skills about creating with wood and plant knowledge, please come share it with me.

    Si les chevaux te plaisent alors je t'apprendrai à les manipuler, les comprendre et les monter. Si tu les connais déja , tu vas adorer !
    Tu rencontreras les propriétaires des chevaux lors de ton séjour, très sympa et chaleureux.
    J espere apprendre de ton language et partager le français autour du quotidien, la préparation d un repas, un apéro, une randonnée, une sortie, une baignade, la vie simple.
    Si tu connais le travail du bois, les plantes, viens m 'apprendre!

    Participatory projects around my yurt
    I have several lovely projects in mind to develop my natural surroundings, and I would be delighted to share these adventures with motivated, curious people who love the great outdoors! There will be several small projects:
    - Small wooden construction: create a terrace perched in a tree. People who enjoy creating with wood, DIY and building are especially welcome! It will also be an opportunity to share our knowledge and skills.
    - Vegetable garden: preparing the ground next to the spring and planting vegetables.
    - Natural spring: improving the area around a spring to create a pleasant little spot while respecting nature.
    - Planting trees.
    If you are passionate about woodworking, gardening, or simply enjoy getting your hands dirty, you are very welcome!
    The idea is to move forward together, share good times and help bring this place to life at nature’s pace.

    Projets participatifs autour de ma yourte
    J’ai plusieurs beaux projets en tête pour aménager mon environnement de nature et je serais ravie de partager ces aventures avec des personnes motivées, curieuses et amoureuses du grand air ! il ya aura plusieurs petits chantier:
    -Construction en bois : construire une terrasse perchée dans un arbre. Les personnes qui aiment travailler le bois, bricoler et construire sont particulièrement les bienvenues ! Ce sera aussi l’occasion de partager nos connaissances et nos savoir-faire.
    - Potager : préparer le terrain à cote de la source et planter des légumes.
    - Source naturelle : aménager les abords d’une source pour en faire un petit coin agréable, en respectant la nature.
    - Planter des arbres.
    Si tu es passionné(e) par le travail du bois, le maraîchage, le jardinage ou simplement heureux(se) de mettre les mains dans la terre, tu es le ou la bienvenu(e) !
    L’idée est d’avancer ensemble, de partager de bons moments et de contribuer à faire vivre ce lieu au rythme de la nature.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    I can host you in a comfortable, cozy caravan with a fridge, kitchenette, double bed (140cm) with linens, and electricity. It's next to the yurt. A new bathroom will be shared.

    Meals will be eaten together and will consist mainly of healthy products. Tea, coffee, and juice (juice extractor available) are provided. Eggs are available directly from the farm, as are some vegetables. Since I don't eat much meat, it's rather rare, but it's still possible to buy some and share a barbecue, for example. The local markets sell good produce. Meals mainly consist of spices, starches, vegetables, and plant-based proteins. The kitchen has a gas stove, food processor, oven, and kettle.

Et quelques légumes aussi. N'étant pas une grande consommatrice de viande elle est plutôt rare , mais il reste cependant possible d 'en acheter et de partager un barbecue par exemple.

Dans la cuisine, on trouve une gazinière, un robot, un four , une bouilloire.
