  Description

  I'm a farmer in the middle of the garrigue, building our own house out of clay.
  We grow lavender and médicinal herbs and have also some sheeps and goats.
  My son is one and half years old.
  I can speak some international english and speak with hands and drowing if needed!
  I take people to help here only when the weather gets nice because it's cold in the cabanes and caravanes during the winter! ( Or travelers with their own rolling home!)
  As i can't pay anyone, thé help will bé on thé private part of thé farm: workawayers won't bé helping with any produce sold.

  As we are in the forrest, there is a smoking area near my place and only there. The garrigue is very fire sensible...
  The way to my farm is a clay track but any normal véhicule can cross.
