    Description

    My boyfriend (Benjamin) and I (Laurane) moved a few months ago in an old renovated barn in Ségus (near Lourdes) and since then we have undertaken a lot of projects that were close to our hearts. Always with the idea of being more often close to nature and living more soberly. We invested a lot of our time in the garden, and we took a few animals (rabbit, a dog, cat, sheep, bees), the idea being to see if we can meet the majority of our food needs by ourselves. So much for a brief description of our little project.

    Mon copain (Benjamin) et moi (Laurane) avons aménagé il y a quelques mois dans une ancienne grange retapée, à Ségus (près de Lourdes) et depuis nous avons entrepris pas mal de projets qui nous tenaient à cœur. Toujours dans l'idée d'être le plus souvent proche de la nature et vivre le plus sobrement. On investi pas mal de notre temps au jardin, et on a pris quelques animaux (lapin, un petit Patou, brebis, pigeons, abeilles), L'idée étant de voir si nous pouvons subvenir à la majorité de nos besoins alimentaires par nous même. Voilà pour brève description de notre petit projet.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The idea of the house is really to share moments, of course doing some household chores that are part of our daily life, but also sharing music (see playing together), films, game nights ... In addition, we are quite active and we love sport in the heart of nature such as via ferrata, climbing, hiking, cycling ... But also badminton. If you like that we can clearly plan a few outings.

    L'idée de la maison c'est vraiment de partager des moments, en faisant bien-sûr quelques tâches domestiques qui font parti de notre quotidien, mais aussi partager la musique (voir jouer ensemble), des films, des soirée jeux... Par ailleurs, on est assez actifs et on adore le sport en pleine nature du style via ferrata, escalade, rando, vélo... Mais aussi le badminton.
    Si vous aimez cela on pourra clairement se prévoir quelques sorties.

    Help

    Now in more detail on the task we do, There are all kinds of daily tasks like feeding the animals (rabbits, dogs, cats, chickens, sheep) Redo their litter boxes ... Then a few construction or renovations projects (chicken house construction, door painting 🎨 🖌️, dry toilet construction)

    We are not going to impose an hour of "work" or anything, the idea is more to share moments, then to have a little help so that our projects advance a little faster. We will not be able to give financial assistance, on the other hand we ensure a good mood, the sharing of our food, some drinks and why not board games, sports outings (climbing hiking)

    Maintenant plus en détail sur les tâches à venir: nous aimerions aménager un poulailler, on a aussi un "chantier broyage"
    Puis on a aussi toute sorte de tâches quotidiennes : nourrir chien chat, pigeons, poules... Et déplacer les brebis ainsi que quelques activités avec les abeilles 🐝 programmées.

    On ne va pas imposer d'heure de "travaille" ou quoi que ce soit, l'idée c'est plus de partager des moment, puis avoir un petit coup de pouce pour que nos projets avance un peu plus vite et lorsque nous devons nous absenter.

    Nous ne pourrons pas donner d’aide financière, en revanche on assure la bonne humeur, le partage de notre pitance, quelque breuvages et pourquoi pas jeux de société, des sorties sportives (escalade rando)

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We have an old barn refurbished 4 years ago. There is the possibility of accommodating one or two people or couple / s, given that there are 2 guest bedrooms. One is large with a beautiful view and private bathroom, the other is quite cozy and comfortable (this is the room we usually use as a cinema room). There is internet which works very well at home.

    Nous disposons d'une vieille grange retapé à neuf il y à 4 ans. Il y à la possibilité d'héberger une ou deux personnes ou couple/s, étant donné qu'il y à 2 chambres d'amis. Une est grande avec belle vue et salle de bain privative, l'autre est plutôt cosy et confortable (c'est la pièce que nous utilisons habituellement comme salle cinéma).
    Il y a internet qui fonctionne très bien à la maison.
