    Description

    Hi, we're a couple (Claire 41 and Maxime 38) living in an isolated spot in the Drôme mountains, 30 minutes from the small town of Die, at an altitude of 1,200 meters. We're ecologically restoring an old house in the middle of nature to make it a shared living space, a haven of peace and harmony. Maxime is an eco-builder, making contemporary yurts and ecological houses. Claire is a writer on the themes of ancient wisdom and the awakening of consciousness, and gives healing sessions. We love peace and quiet, purity and wilderness, the wonderful flora and fauna around us, but also singing, celebrating life, taking care of living things, welcoming and meeting people from all directions. Between us, we have 4 children. Maxime has 2 daughters (aged 11 and 13) from a first marriage. Claire has 1 son aged 14. And together we've just had a little girl, Hina, born in June 2023. Our 3 older children only live with us during the school holidays and some weekends. We regularly welcome eco-construction trainees and colleagues, all of whom are passionate about green living. Our first neighbours are 500 m away. Our village is renowned for its exceptional living environment and its dynamic spirit of mutual aid and sharing.


    Bonjour, nous sommes un couple (Claire 41 ans et Maxime 38 ans) installés dans un lieu isolé dans les montagnes drômoises à 30 minutes de la petite ville de Die, à 1200 m d'altitude. Nous restaurons écologiquement une vielle bâtisse en pleine nature afin d'en faire un lieu de vie partagé, hâvre de paix et d'harmonie. Maxime est artisan éco-constructeur, fabricant de yourtes contemporaines et de maisons écologiques. Claire est écrivaine sur les thématiques des sagesses anciennes et de l'éveil des consciences et donne des soins énergétiques. Nous aimons le calme, la pureté, la nature sauvage, sa faune et sa flore, mais aussi chanter, célébrer la vie, prendre soin du vivant, accueillir et rencontrer des personnes de tout horizon. A nous deux, nous avons 4 enfants. Maxime a 2 filles (11 et 13 ans) d'une première union. Claire a 1 fils de 14 ans. Et ensemble nous venons d'avoir une petite fille Hina née en juin 2023. Nos 3 enfants aînés ne vivent avec nous que pendant les vacances scolaires et 1 week-end sur 2. Nous accueillons aussi régulièrement des stagiaires et collègues en éco-construction, tous passionnés par l'habitat naturel. Nos premiers voisins sont à 500 m. Notre village est réputé pour son cadre de vie exceptionnel et sa dynamique d'entraide et de partage.
