Description
We are a family (parents around 40 years and 2 girls of 10 and 5 years old) involved in an eco touristic project : host tourist and events in a place eco built and eco maintained. We are at the beginning of the adventure and we plan to built Zomes, do permaculture, protect and manage biodiversity.
The ecosite is on 4,5 ha of land and wood, quite a big game area !
We eat organic as most as possible, not vegetarian but few meat eaters.
We love meeting people and travel to discover other cultures and way of life.
Anne is coach, speaker and teacher in ecologic entrepreneurship; she organizes also the events and manage communication. She was previously in charge of biodiversity management (3000ha) in Camargue.
Virgile is the builder and gardener. He was previously in charge of quality, environnement and project management as work supervisor in civil engineering for Vinci.
We have 3 cats and a dog, chickens, rabbit...among a wide range of wild animals !
We prefer no smoking guests.
We are located in the south of Toulouse, in Comminges (45mn by car or train, railway station next 10km).
Please ask if you want more details :-)

He speaks very good french which was so nice for communication with our girls.
He helps Virgile outside, to built a zome and clean the wood.
We warmly recommend Georges and hope to welcome him again.
He helped Virgile for cleaning the wood and me with my Lego mess !
He will be a perfect life engineer, no doubt.
Moreover, he is a good cooker and it was a pleasure to let him cook for us.
We hope to see him again and that he will have a nice trip in Europe before beginning University.
She is a nice and interesting woman and I regret we had no more time to meet together.
I think it could be better for communication and sharing to stay more.

The communication was extremely easy and fluent.
They understood very quickly the house and family organisation.
They are autonomous and they carry out indoor and outdoor works perfectly for us...
It was such a surprise to… read more
