Description
I'm a potter and a musician. We live in the wild countryside of" la creuse" center of France, very low population, beautiful villages and woods.
You will need a driving license if you want to get to town but i drive there sometimes. I play carnatic music on the bansuri (bamboo flute) and i sing hindi songs (indian music)... My son (11) loves playing football and beatboxing. My daughter (14) loves painting, creating and is also turning out to be a musician. I'll show you around the family pottery workshop which was founded in 1979. You can try making a pot. There is a big family garden there also. The activities vary with nature's seasons. One of my sisters has a tree nursery 10km from here with more than 250 types of apples (local and forgotten fruits). As a low populated area, we love to meet new people from around the world and shake up the routine. I usually do everything by myself but i realize i like company and doing things together could be so much more fun. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You can see how a family works as a community. We all live within a few kilometers of the pottery workshop. I can teach some indian food recipes and indian music . It depends what we are are doing at the moment you arrive. You will obviously learn something as we are very active.

Help

What else ...
I'd love to jam up if you play an instrument. You can visit the pottery workshop which has been in the family since about 40 years. There is nice wild life here and walking around is very pleasant. The air and water are pure. There are lots of woods and cows. The eventual deer and fox can be seen. The dolmens....I can teach you about flowers in the garden, a little astrology.
