We can visit our farmer friends and taste their cheeses.
You can take part of our little family, working together, eating good french food together, coming with us to meet some friends, hiking in the mountains or walking with my dog. And If you prefer stay in you world sometimes it is ok for us.

Accommodation
There are two possibilities about accommodation :
- coming with your tent or van
- or stay in our old stone building, in a space separate with curtain ( it is also our leaving place) There are not heating and window yet but a roof and a confortable bed with a lot of blanket.
It is the birth of our project so we are leaving very very simply! So we drink water from the source, take the water in the river for the shower, and you can recharge phone with a solar panel.
( We will ask don't put any soap or waste in the river)
About us, we are leaving in a very small caravan juste next to old building.
We are 3 km from the village where there are some buses to move. We can lend you bikes.
We propose two choices with or without food.
If you prefere that food take part of the exchange, we can eat together biological and more than we can locals food.
We don't eat meat or fish everydays, not everyweeks. We are ok to adapt the meals for you (vegetarien, vegan...).
If you prefere take you meal alone, no worries for us. We can provide some food for you.
What else ...
In our place, it is very important to respect Nature and LIFE. So we take care to don't put any soap or food in the river, don't kill insect (except fly when there are two much...) and stop noise around 21 or 22h. pm. We try to eat maximum biological food and reduce our waste...
My dog : Alùen , is in her place like us and need to be respect like the rest of us. She will be very happy to receive dog friends!!
