    Description

    Retirees (68 years), we live with Elisabeth a farm in the Maurienne Valley (Savoie-France) at 650 m altitude. We have also a small hemp and wood house at 1400m altitude. We practice gardening, mountain hiking and are very involved in environmental and social associations. I also have an artistic activity (I play in various shows and practice Landart). Lake and swimming 500 m from the farm. Vanoise National Park nearby. Many possibilities of excursions.

    Retraités (68 ans), nous habitons avec Elisabeth une ferme dans la vallée de la Maurienne (Savoie-France) à 650 m d'altitude. Nous avons aussi une petite maison en chanvre et bois à 1400 m d'altitude. Nous pratiquons le jardinage, la randonnée en montagne et sommes très impliqués dans des associations environnementales et sociales. J'ai aussi une activité artistique (je joue dans divers spectacles et pratique le Landart). Lac et baignade à 500 m de la ferme. Parc national de la Vanoise à proximité. Nombreuses possibilités de randonnées.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We like very much to party with our friends, eat and drink local specialties, we like gardening and connecting with Earth. We also love our region and we often walk in mountains. I regularly give shows in various mountain villages. We would be very happy to share all these activities with the volunteers we welcome.

    Nous aimons beaucoup faire la fête avec nos amis, manger et boire les spécialités locales, nous aimons jardiner et nous "connecter" avec la Terre. Nous aimons aussi beaucoup notre région et nous nous baladons souvent en montagne. Je donne aussi régulièrement des spectacles dans divers villages de montagne. Nous serions très heureux de faire partager tout cela aux volontaires que nous accueillerons.
