We just moved in a house near Romans sur Isere. It's a small community living project, with potentially two other families in the future : Sharing playgrounds, workshop and tools, vehicule, exchange of service, and cultivating together (permaculture), etc...

We like cultural exchanges and I have travelled around the world a little when I was younger.
We are non smokers and would appreciate this to be done outside
We tend to eat gluten and lactose free.
We can provide room, board and laundry.
