  • Description

    Description

    Help needed in preparation for a collective housing project on a farm. The collective project is in progress but we are starting to clear the land and refresh the house to make it ready for the renovation stage. It will be easier and more fun to do it together. This opportunity also offers a chance to discover the surrounding region, mountains, lakes, and national park in the heart of the Hautes-Alpes in France.
