    Description

    Join a collective living project in the hills of the Opal Coast!
    We are four friends, two couples — Jérémie, Marie, Antoine, and Priscille — and we've just embarked on the biggest project of our lives: settling down together on a farm in the hills of Bazinghen. Five, if you count Simone, our little shepherdess 🐕
    Since March, we've unpacked our suitcases and rolled up our sleeves. There's a lot to do, and that's exactly why we're looking for motivated people to share this adventure with us.

    A little introduction to the team:
    Marie is a journalist and is passionate about the land and all living things. She's the one who's been preparing our vegetable garden.

    Antoine and Jérémie both work in the restaurant industry — chef and waiter, respectively. Suffice it to say, the food here rarely disappoints.

    Priscille is a designer — she's the one who will make sure it's beautiful and comfortable, that you feel good.

    Rejoins un projet de vie collectif dans les collines de la Côte d'Opale !
    On est quatre amis, deux couples — Jérémie, Marie, Antoine et Priscille — et on vient de se lancer dans le plus grand projet de nos vies : s'installer ensemble dans une ferme dans les collines de Bazinghen. Cinq, si on compte Simone, notre petite bergère 🐕
    Depuis mars, on pose nos valises et on retrousse nos manches. Il y a du pain sur la planche, et c'est exactement pourquoi on cherche des gens motivés pour partager cette aventure avec nous.

    Petite présentation de l'équipe
    Marie est journaliste et est passionnée par la terre et le vivant . C'est elle qui s'occupe notamment de préparer notre jardin potager.
    Antoine et Jérémie sont tous les deux dans la restauration — chef et service. Autant dire que la table est rarement décevante par ici.
    Priscille est designer — c'est elle qui veillera à ce que ce soit beau et confortable, que vous soyez bien.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    🇬🇧
    Meeting people from all over the world is one of the things we're most excited about in this project. We hope you'll leave with much more than just hours of work under your belt.
    We'd love to take you to explore one of the most beautiful coastlines in France — Cap Gris-Nez, the cliffs, the wild beaches — by bike or on foot.
    We love evenings that happen spontaneously around the little guinguette bar we built, conversations that stretch late over a meal, curious and open-minded people. And when you need to recharge, we have a patch of forest with a hammock strung between the trees — perfect for a book and some quiet.
    What we hope most: that you leave having contributed to something that will last, and already wanting to come back.

    Accueillir des gens de partout, c'est une des choses qui nous enthousiasme le plus dans ce projet. On espère que vous repartirez avec bien plus que des heures de chantier dans les pattes.
    On pourra vous emmener explorer une des plus belles côtes de France — le Cap Gris-Nez, les falaises, les plages sauvages — à vélo ou à pied.
    On aime les soirées qui s'improvisent autour du bar guinguette qu'on a construit, les discussions qui s'étirent autour d'un repas, les gens curieux et ouverts. Et quand vous avez besoin de souffler, on a un bout de forêt avec un hamac tendu entre les arbres — idéal pour un livre et un peu de silence.
    Ce qu'on espère surtout : que vous repartiez en ayant contribué à quelque chose qui durera, et avec l'envie de revenir.

    🇫🇷
    Vous disposerez de votre propre chambre avec lit double et draps fournis. Les deux chambres partagent une salle de bain commune — propre et fonctionnelle. Vous aurez accès à une cuisine équipée (plaques, four, frigo) et au wifi. Les deux chambres sont idéales pour des couples — très bienvenus ici !
    Pour les repas : Les dîners communs sont souvent au rendez-vous ! Quand nos agendas ne se croisent pas, votre réfrigérateur sera bien garni.
    Des vélos sont à disposition pour explorer les alentours — sentiers de rando, pistes cyclables, la mer à 10 minutes. Et à la ferme, Simone et nos 3 moutons seront là pour vous accueillir 🐑
    Le lieu est encore en chantier — on ne va pas vous le cacher — mais l'ambiance est bonne et chaque coup de main compte.

    🇬🇧
    You'll have your own room with a double bed and fresh linen provided. Both rooms share a clean, functional bathroom. You'll also have access to a fully equipped kitchen (hob, oven, fridge) and wifi. Both rooms have double beds and are perfect for couples — very welcome here!
    On meals: Communal dinners are often on the menu! When schedules don't allow it, your fridge will be well stocked.
    Bikes are available to explore the area — hiking trails, cycling paths, the sea 10 minutes away. And back at the farm, Simone and our 3 sheep will be there to welcome you 🐑
    The place is still a work in progress — but the atmosphere is great and every pair of hands makes a difference.
