  Description

  We live in Normandy, near the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel. We love nature, music, and meeting new people. We are looking for people willing to help in the garden and fields (mowing, clearing brush, various gardening tasks) in exchange for accommodation and good local, and generally organic, produce for food. We have one cat and five sheep.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We travelled quite a lot (Guyane , New Calédonia, Australie, New Zealand) and we love to discover other cultures, especially when it comes to music. We play concerts, « fest-noz » (traditional music from Brittany), and trad music sessions (jam) and we are happy to share this experience (teach tunes, play together).
  
  We would like also to share experience about taking care of the land: our land is almost one hectare and we plant trees, and depending on the season, we harvest fruits.

  Accommodation

  We have a big house (250 m2) and we can welcome 3 volunteers with access to a dedicated bathroom and toilet for the volunteers.
  
  We are always happy to share meals (and we usually share meals as a family of 5) and when it is not possible, food will be available in the kitchen (we buy local products from the market - we have some great organic farmers here - and we always buy bread, vegetables, eggs and cheese from the market in our village. Our cooking is simple but made with good products.
  We also have some fine French wine to be tasted. Part of our family is vegetarian. The meals are often vegetarian.
