We are a family of 6 people (46 ans, 43 ans, 13 ans, 10 ans, 7 ans et 4 ans). We recently left city life to settle in the countryside. We want to build our dream: Become independent in the garden, welcome projects with human values related to nature.
However with toddler the implementation is quite slow, we ask your help.
We have more if one hectare and several outbuildings barns and building site stone, which unfortunately has deteriorated with the years.
Nevertheless, he keeps all his charm. We want to give it the appearance it deserves.
Our needs are quite varied in terms of renovation, gardening, childcare, coking...etc ...

Nous sommes une famille de 6 personnes (46 ans, 43 ans, 13 ans, 10 ans, 7 ans et 4 ans). Nous avons récemment quitté la vie citadine pour nous installer à la campagne. Nous souhaitons y construire notre rêve : Devenir autonome au jardin, accueillir des projets aux valeurs humaine lié à la nature.
Cependant avec un bambin, la mise en place est assez lente, nous vous demandons votre aide.
Nous possédons un terrain de plus d’un hectare ainsi que des granges aux pierres apparentes qui, malheureusement s'est abimé avec les années.
Malgré tout, il garde tout son charme. Nous souhaitons lui rendre l'apparence qu'il mérite.
Notre besoin est assez varié en terme de rénovation, de jardinage, de garde d'enfants, de cuisine ...etc ...

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As our children do not go to school, we are interested in learning about different cultures and languages.
We would be very happy if our children could share life with English speakers for a while.
If you like the countryside, you're going to be happy.
We live near the greenway (cycle path allowing you to go by bike to the 2 nearby towns). The town of Bressuire is 10 minutes from the house.
We live 50 minutes from the Puy du Fou, favorite park of the French for 5 years.
The Atlantic Ocean is a 2-hour drive away, with beautiful places such as the Noirmoutier peninsula or the Ile de Ré.
-------------------------------------------------------
Nos enfants n'allant pas à l'école, nous sommes intéressés pour connaître différentes cultures et langues.
Nous serions très heureux si nos enfants pouvaient partager la vie avec des anglophones pendant un temps.
Si vous aimez la campagne, vous allez être heureux.
Nous habitons près de la voie verte (piste cyclable permettant d'aller en vélo jusqu'au 2 villes proches). La ville de Bressuire est à 10 minutes de la maison.
Nous habitons à 50min du puy du fou, parc préféré des français depuis 5 ans.
L'océan atlantique est à 2 heures de route, avec des endroits magnifiques comme la presqu'ile de Noirmoutier ou l'Île de Ré.
