  Description

  We are a couple whose children took flight. We live in the south of Ardèche next to cicadas, lavender and olive trees. Our house is located in a hamlet of character, located on the edge of the Gorges de l'Ardèche, a protected area because it is classified as a nature reserve. A tourist hotspot known for the canoe descents of the Gorges, its swimming areas and its picturesque villages. We plan to plant young olive trees which must be protected from wild boars by a fence. This is where we need you. This project is close to our hearts for ethical reasons; to do for future generations as this has always been and thus perpetuated the traditions.
