    Description

    We are a small collective of five women, located in the Gers, southwest of France (Occitania).
    We are in an echological approach respectful of nature, our environment, and humans.
    We live in the hills, a big building that we are renovating in the countryside.
    We are not far from the Pyrenees. Here, you can make beautiful walks, there are lakes not too far where it is good to swim. Gers is also a region that hosts many festivals, such as "Jazz in Marciac", "Tampo Latino" and many other events, such as art exhibitions.
    Our group consists of artists (visual artist and musician), a therapist and a super woman!
    We have many projects for this place, beautiful and inspiring.
