Description
We are a group of ten people who constituted a young non-profit cooperative to buy an old watermill in Binic (22) in Brittany, France. It's been two years that we started restoring it, both the outside and the buildings, with ecological values. We also carry humanist and social values. We are trying to apply non violent communication at all times.
At the moment there are 5 of us living there.
There are so many things to be done here that all help is welcome, all year round !
