Description
Come discover our life in the forest. We live in a secluded house, but only 7 minutes by car from a small town, 20 minutes by bike (we have some available for you to borrow), or an hour on foot. We are very close to nature, practice permaculture, and have an eco-responsible approach: we place great importance on autonomy, free will, compassionate communication, and cooperation—it's human ecology! Our goal is to build connections, to get to know each other better and share more freely, so we're looking for someone who wants to be like a member of our family. If you plan to stay in your room all the time except for the 3 or 4 hours of daily help, this isn't the place for you. We don't drink alcohol or smoke, and we mainly eat meat and vegetables. Vegetarians and vegans are welcome; I plan to provide grains and legumes as substitutes for animal products, otherwise, please bring your own supplements. Children are welcome; a minimum of one hour of help per day is requested for them in exchange for accommodation. Parents provide the remaining cost for children's meals. Each adult commits to 3 hours of help per day for 6 days (one day off during the week), or 4 hours of help per day for 5 days (weekend off). In exchange, accommodation and meals are provided. See you soon! Cécile. My children: Timéo, 14 years old, Yanaël, 12 years old. And our animals: Nougat, Sushi, Joe, Pastis, Rio... who participate in the permaculture (we don't eat them!).
Venez découvrir notre vie en forêt, nous vivons une maison isolée, mais à 7 min d’une petit ville en voiture, 20 min en vélo (nous en avons sur place pour vous prêter), 1h à pied. Nous sommes très proche de la nature, pratiquons la permaculture et avons une approche éco-responsable : nous donnons une grande place à l’autonomie, au libre-arbitre, à la communication bienveillante, à la coopération… C'est l'écologie humaine ! Notre but est de tisser du lien, afin de mieux se connaître et de mieux échanger, nous souhaitons donc quelqu'un qui a envie d'être comme un membre de notre famille. Si vous pensez rester dans votre chambre tout le temps hors des 3h ou 4h d'aide quotidienne, passez votre chemin.
Nous ne buvons pas d'alcool, ne fumons pas, mangeons surtout viande et légumes. Végétariens et vegan bienvenus, je prévoie des céréales et légumineuses en remplacement des produits animaux, sinon apportez vos produits complémentaires. Enfants bienvenus, pour eux 1h d'aide minimum par jour demandée en échange du gîte, les parents apportent le complément pour les repas des enfants.
Chaque adulte s'engage pour 3h d'aide par jour sur 6 jours (un jour libre dans la semaine), ou 4h d'aide par jour sur 5 jours (week-end libre). En échange le gîte et le couvert sont offerts.
À bientôt !

The house is with a good basic comfort as she's renewing it to make a lodging and a camping. It's great to live simply and help building this nice project.
