  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 11eme siècle. Entièrement piétonnier. 1/2 heure de la plage de Vintimille, train pour Nice: 1 heure.
  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 ...et il faut marcher un peu quand-même 😉 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.
  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.
  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.
  A bientôt j espere, Marie.

  Behind, in the valley, only remain eagles, wolves and a few sheep. Our house is located in the mountains, in a Natura 2000 protected valley...and you have to walk a bit anyway 😉 We have several neighbors who are all friends, including a farm also lost in the mountains. We share and help each other. Over 100 different orchids and incredible insects. Lots of beautiful hikes, I can let you a tent and bedding if you want to go trekking. 5 hours/day, 5 days/week or something like that for food and room. Even though we live far from civilization, you will have a beautiful room, spring water, solar water heater and solar panels. Vegetables from the garden as possible, eggs from our chickens.
  I practiced yoga and chi Kong for more than 30 y, taught breathing in Auroville for 15 years and 5 years in NZ (Riverside community for those who know) I used to travel as a woofer too, such a beautiful way to see the world !!! Please no smokers. See you soon, I hope, Marie.
