    Description

    Hi! I’m Pierre-Alain , 33 Y-O.
    I’m currently developing a place that will be a kind of farm to experiment low-tech to grow food, share with people and take care of environnement.

    For the moment, I’m at the early begining : I live in a temporary workshop where there is a place to live and host confortably. I share my time between :
    - The « administrative » part to prepare the futur place of the project (not the most fun part ;) )
    - The garden of my parent that provide fruit and vegetable
    - DIY project like building solar shower, dry toilets, low-tech cookstove, etc
    - Commons stuff (prepare wood for winter, etc)

    I propose to people to take part of all this stuffs (except administrative !), but also, according to desires, preparing jars of vegetable, preparing meal, etc

    It’s also for me, the begining of host people with this kind of plateform, so i’m open to idea, optimisations, etc.

    About the rythm : it could be for exemple 4 hours per days, 4 or 5 days a week, to be adapted if you want visiting the area. (the coast is really beautiful)

    Important point : Because of the preparation of the project, it’s not rare that i can’t be with helpers during the day, so people need to appreciate to be autonomous, alone or with other helpers. during the day.

    I like to exchange with people from other cultures, to test exotic dishes, playing music (i'm drummer)... so I will be happy to host you!

    PS : I'm climber beginer (i just have my harness/shoes) but if you have all the equipement, there is good spot on the aerea.

    PS2 : Ecologically speaking, I cannot accept people who come by plane just for a few days. Prefer the bus, train, hitchhiking!


    See you soon !
