Description
Hi! I'm Cyril, an artist (sculpture, design, photography) living just below the village of Lacoste, in the heart of the Luberon. I bought a house with a beautiful piece of land a couple of years ago, and it's still very much a work in progress: renovation, garden, permaculture, animals and bees. If you like real, hands-on projects, you'll love it here. The place is still evolving: you can expect a warm welcome, an independent cabin and simple, rustic comfort. I'm vegetarian, but happy to share meals with meat-eaters.
Bonjour ! Je m'appelle Cyril, je suis artiste (sculpture, design, photographie) et je vis juste en dessous du village de Lacoste, au cœur du Luberon. J'ai acheté il y a deux ans une maison avec un très beau terrain, et tout est encore en chantier : rénovation, jardin, permaculture, animaux et ruches. Si tu aimes les projets concrets, tu vas adorer. Le lieu est encore en transformation : tu y trouveras un accueil chaleureux, un cabanon indépendant et un confort simple et rustique. Je suis végétarien, mais je partage volontiers mes repas avec ceux qui mangent de la viande. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The area is stunning and a little remote, perfect for slowing down. There are beautiful walks, the most charming Provence villages all around, and great people to meet. Art, music, nature and animals fill my life, and I love sharing them. I speak French, English and Spanish fluently.
La région est superbe et un peu reculée, idéale pour ralentir. Il y a de belles balades, les plus jolis villages de Provence tout autour, et des gens chouettes à rencontrer. L'art, la musique, la nature et les animaux remplissent ma vie, et j'aime les partager. Je parle couramment français, anglais et espagnol. -
Help
About 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. Depending on the season and your skills: renovation and building work (sometimes physical: digging, breaking concrete, moving stones and wood), gardening and permaculture, help with the animals, and sometimes the workshop. No special skills needed, just goodwill and care for work well done. I'll show you everything on the first day, then you can organise yourself quite freely.
Environ 5 heures par jour, 5 jours par semaine. Selon la saison et tes compétences : rénovation et chantier (parfois physique : creuser, casser du béton, déplacer des pierres et du bois), jardin et permaculture, soin des animaux, et parfois l'atelier. Aucune compétence particulière n'est requise, juste de la bonne volonté et l'amour du travail bien fait. Je te montre tout le premier jour, puis tu t'organises assez librement. -

Accommodation
You'll sleep in an independent wooden cabin with a double bed and a heater (I'll show you how it works when you arrive). The bathroom and toilets are in the main house, a short walk away, and there are also dry toilets. The house and land are a building site in progress, so expect a simple, rustic comfort. The kitchen is open to you, and there's always fresh food in the fridge.
Tu dormiras dans un cabanon en bois indépendant avec un lit double et un chauffage (je te montre comment il fonctionne à ton arrivée). La salle de bain et les toilettes sont dans la maison, à quelques pas, et il y a aussi des toilettes sèches. La maison et le terrain sont un chantier en cours : attends-toi à un confort simple et rustique. La cuisine t'est ouverte, et il y a toujours des produits frais dans le frigo.
Accommodation and meals are provided throughout your stay, including your days off.
Le logement et les repas sont pris en charge pendant tout ton séjour, y compris les jours de repos. -
What else ...
I'm sometimes a busy artist with several projects at once, so I'm not always around: some days I work in my studio or on sites nearby. Independence is appreciated. When family or friends come over, you're part of it: sharing my life, my people and this place is what Workaway means to me, so I hope you'll join in. We often share meals together. Most importantly: talk to me! If you're cold, bored, need something or feel left out, just tell me. I can't guess, and I'm always happy to help.
Before confirming your stay, I like to have a short video call (WhatsApp or other) so we can meet, I can show you the place, and we can both be sure it's a good fit. I'll also send you my house charter to read before you come. It explains how we live together, and we sign it on your first day.
Animals: Tess (dog), two cats, a goat and a sheep. LGBTQI+ welcome.
Je suis parfois un artiste très occupé, avec plusieurs projets en parallèle, donc je ne suis pas toujours là : certains jours je travaille à l'atelier ou sur des chantiers à proximité. L'autonomie est appréciée. Quand ma famille ou mes amis viennent, tu en fais partie : partager ma vie, mes proches et ce lieu, c'est pour moi tout l'esprit de Workaway, alors j'espère que tu te joindras à nous. On partage souvent les repas. Le plus important : parle-moi ! Si tu as froid, si tu t'ennuies, si tu as besoin de quelque chose ou si tu te sens à l'écart, dis-le-moi. Je ne peux pas deviner, et je suis toujours heureux d'aider.
Avant de confirmer ton séjour, j'aime faire un court appel vidéo (WhatsApp ou autre) pour qu'on se rencontre, que je te montre le lieu et qu'on soit sûrs tous les deux que ça colle. Je t'enverrai aussi ma charte d'accueil à lire avant ta venue : elle explique comment on vit ensemble, et on la signe le premier jour.
Animaux : Tess (chienne), deux chats, une chèvre et un mouton. LGBTQI+ bienvenu·e·s.
