    Description

    Hello ! We're a family of 4 (Julien, Anne, Salomé 9 and Zacharie 7), with a cat (Mitchi,2), living in Morbihan since 3 years. We're living in a straw house, on a beautiful orchard. The house was built in 2021, and we still have few things to do inside or on the land. We did put a lot of effort optimising for energy consumption, and the house is following passive standards.
    We had the chance to travel and to do woofing or volunteer work, and, now that we're settled in a house, will be very happy to host travellers and share our culture.
