  Bonjour les amis,
  Bonjour , je serai heureuse de recevoir 1 personne, pour 1 a 2 semaines environ....ou plus 😊
  Au jardin, je cherche de l'aide pour préparer le jardin pour le printemps et quelques autres bricoles..
  La région est magnifique,vous verrez.
  Basses Alpes, au pied du Parc National du Mercantour, nous vivons à la montagne, à côté d'un village alternatif et très vivant ... du 11 eme siècle. Entièrement piétonnier. 1/2 heure de la plage de Vintimille, bus pour Nice: 1 heure et quelque.
  Derrière, dans la vallée, il ne reste que les aigles, les loups et quelques moutons.
  Notre maison est située dans la montagne, dans une vallée protégée Natura 2000 ...accessible uniquement à pied 😉 Nous avons plusieurs voisins qui sont tous des amis, dont une ferme perdue aussi dans la montagne. Nous partageons et nous aidons mutuellement.
  Plus de 100 orchidées différentes et des insectes incroyables...et c'est actuellement la saison des orchidées.
  Beaucoup de belles randonnées, je peux vous laisser une tente et de la literie si vous voulez faire du trecking.
  5 heures/j , 5jours/semaine ou quelque chose comme ça pour nourriture et chambre. Même si nous vivons à l écart de la civilisation, vous aurez une belle chambre, eau de source, chauffe eau solaire et panneaux solaires. Autant que possible,légumes du jardin, oeufs de nos poules si le renard n'est pas passé 🙄
  Je pratique le yoga et le chi Kong , ai enseigné la respiration à Auroville pendant 15 ans et 5 ans en NZ (Riverside community pour les connaisseurs)
  J'ai l'habitude de voyager comme woofer aussi, une si belle façon de voir le monde !!! Svp pas de fumeurs.
