  Description

  Hello !
  
  We are are a groupe of 5 friends (+ 2 dogs, a cat and chickens) living together on the country side in Dordogne, France. We live on an a farm where we share the house and sleep in our individual cabins spread around 1H of land.
  
  Tanguy is our ingeneer hyper inventive and repair everything guy. Léa is a carpenter and cabinet maker. Katinka is a creative soul and tattoo artist. Zoé works at the local thrift store and makes sure we always have some homebaked cookies around and Jeanne works for the regional park, making sure we are moving towards a more ecological future.
  
  Each one of us go about with our projects around the house. We have an abundant vegetable garden, we renovate the house and plan on building more cabins on the land. We are very chill and easy going and while we have many things going on we also know how to enjoy life and have fun. We live in beautiful nature with easy access to rivers and forests.
  
  We live in an area that is buzzing with energy and there is always people passing by or events to participate in in the local community. We are rarely bored!
  
  We are quite social but also enjoy our private time which is why we have individual cabins. We eat most of our meals together and take turn cooking.
  
  Current projects:
  Helping Tanguy with the vegetable garden, help making the house and garden cosy and nice. We are open to initiatives and if you feel inspired to create your own project to improve the place, we are totally open
