Description
HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! ***
We live in the middle of the Luberon Natural Park, so this could be perfect for you if you like to spend time in nature!!!
At the moment we need most help with a last minute order of pottery lamps, the help will be mostly helping finishing these lamps.
We love meeting new people, from several cultures, know different ways to live and thinking. We are really looking forward to hosting creative, hard-working, and skillful people with a positive attitude!
We recently bought a big house where we are working with ceramics in the Luberon. We started with this adventure 6 years ago so there is still a lots to be done.
A paradise for nature lovers! There are many amazing trails starting right outside of the house and great climbing a few kms away, in Buoux. In the mid 80's the Buoux cliff was one of the most important in the world and even today it is a paradise for technical sports climbing!
Please note that our place is remote and there is no public transport!
If this sounds like fun to you, then send us a message!
About us:
We are Neu and Jon. We have been traveling and volunteering in farms for many years and that changed our lives forever. We have finally decided to settle down in Provence and we have been working hard together with wonderful workawayers renovating our big house . We love climbing, gardening, pottery and nature.
PLACES TO VISIT DURING YOUR STAY:
Auribeau (900m), Castellet (2km), Saignon (6km), Apt (10km), Buoux (10km), Bonnieux (18km), Roussillon (21km).
We always go to the Saturday market in Apt and you are welcome to join us whenever you want! There you can go for a coffee, get some groceries or just walk around and enjoy the wonderful vibe of the market.
Please let us know if you think you could be interested!
Looking forward to your messages!
