    Description

    Come and share good times in the Pyrenees mountains.

    Passionate about biodiversity and wildlife. Five years ago, I started on renovating a stone house and creating an edible jungle. The house is now livable, so I can welcome guests and dedicate my time to the permaculture garden.

    II would like to welcome volunteers to help me maintain and develop the place, as well as to share their skills and observations of nature.

    [FR]
    Venez partager de bons moments dans les montagnes pyrénéennes.

    Passioné par la biodiversité et la faune sauvage. Je me suis lancé, il y a 5 ans, dans la rénovation d'une maison en pierre et l'aménagement d'une jungle comestible. La maison est maintenant habitable, je peux donc accueillir et consacrer mon temps au jardin.

    J'aimerai acceuillir des volontaires pour m'aider à entretenir et faire évoluer le lieu et aussi pour partager des compétences et observations de la nature.
