Description
We are a couple of stone builders living in a collective house rebuilt by us. We have 2ha (2000m2 of permaculture garden), a green house, dry toilet, a clay house we built.
Our project is to share live, and experience together.

We are dynamic, open, mindful and we like to meet people.

Our big project this summer was the 'Brogliotte', a house we built out of clay with the help and ideas of many people. The roof, the floor and the chimney are not as yet finished and we welcome all helping hands.

This was my first Workaway and it couldn't have been better. Greg and Katryn are one of the friendliest and warmest people I have met and the vibe there is amazing. The way they run things using collective intelligence creates a close knit family, which is amazing to be part of. It was amazing to experience the local life and southern… read more

I was not a workawayer when I discovered the place but I just enjoyed it. A few weeks later, I came back as a volunteer because I had to learn more about this wonderful little community composed of thoughtful, generous, open mind and true people. This is a place for every one where the humain being is the focus of attention.
What more could we ask… read more

Force et dynamisme, c'est 2 mots résument l'impression première qui se confirme tout au long du séjour de Juliane. Nous n'espérons qu'une chose : qu'elle revienne et prenne le lead d'un projet : y'a le poulailler, le pavage ou terminer les enduits... ;) Et puis ya un petit chien qui t'attend ;=)

This is a very interesting and nice place to experience... There are always quite some people around, including volunteers and more permanent residents. Different projects are going on and you can somehow choose yourself everyday what you feel like doing : everyday-life tasks as well as more exceptionnal ones or your self idea to bring to the… read more

Tabéa laisse un grand vide, elle a su se rendre utile et agréable tout le long de son séjour de 3mois1/2 : cuisiner, jardiner, fendre du bois, modeler la terre pour des constructions ou des enduits, dessiner, ranger, chanter, faire de la guitare, elle est toujours partante et elle s'investit dans tout ce qu'elle entreprend.

Je suis restée 3 mois et demi ici, mon premier workaway, et je ne pouvais pas imaginer un meilleur endroit.
Les hôtes sont super mais aussi les volontaires,les amis et même les voisins!!
Il y a toujours des choses intéressantes à faire.
Venez tous!
C'est toujours mieux quand il y a du monde.
On apprend ensemble et on rigole ensemble.

Dear Greg and Katryn!
Sorry for our late feedback!
You are so generous and open, we felt ourselves very welcome.
The meetings in the morning were a conscious start for the day.
It was so good to be so much outside! We ate, showered and slept in our tent outside, and we harvested the many apples, prunes and figs.
We helped building the little cob… read more

Séjour trop court avec ce couple magnifique qui embellit chaque chose. Beaucoup d'enthousiasme et de gaieté, de la musique (quelques leçons de guitare), des chansons, des rires et de l'efficacité, que du bonheur. Nous espérons les voir revenir vers nous quand ils auront envie de poser leurs valises quelques temps.

Séjour trop court, encore envie de faire des choses avec Gaultier et surtout de réaliser quelque chose qui lui tiendrait à coeur. Très agréable compagnon de vie et de travail.
A bientôt Gaultier et très bonnes fêtes

Excellent séjour, un séjour dans une petite communauté active. Ce fut pour ma part une bonne expérience autant dans le travail (enduit terre sable paille) que sur le plan humain. Le lieu est superbe en pleine campagne aveyronnaise très calme et reposant. J'espère revenir bientôt ! Bisous Catherine et Grégoire !

I spent a short time here and was very nice, Katherine is a very closer and nice woman, the place is wonderful and people are very friendly. I enjoyed walking in the forest, organising the party and helping in the land. I would like to go again in the future!!

Jessica est une jeune fille très timide avec laquelle nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir à cheminer, elle nous a permis de parler anglais tout au long de son séjour et tout le monde a adoré cet anglicisation de l’atmosphère brogliesque... Séjour écourté par la venue d'un parent... Dommage.

Nous avons été enchantés de travailler avec lea et Sam qui étaient toujours contents de tout ce que nous avons proposé : finitions aux toilettes sèches, éclairage du salon, ... Discutions sur tous les sujets avec beaucoup de créativité. Bref une belle expérience que nous renouvellerions avec plaisir.

We arrived to Catherine and Gregoire's place really spontaneously. That was our very first time as volunteers in France and we definitely end up in the best place ever. Catherine and Gregoire are a such amazing couple, so interesting, kind, generous, welcoming, easygoing... kind of people you want to keep as friends. As our passage was not really… read more

Letizia est une personne à la joie et l'optimisme contagieux. Elle aime tout ce qui concerne la maison et le jardin et aide volontiers aux travail de construction, surtout si il y a du monde... Elle discute volontiers et son français s'est amélioré sensiblement lors de son séjour. Très agréable séjour.
