Description
🌿 About us & our project
Hello!
We are a French–Colombian couple developing a rural eco-project in Corneilla-de-Conflent, a beautiful village in the south of France, at the foothills of the Canigó mountain 🌄
We are currently renovating and progressively transforming the place into a lively, ecological and cultural space.
⸻
👨👩👧 Who we are
Jonathan is French, Manu is Colombian (Hispanic), and we speak several languages: French, English, Spanish, Catalan and German.
Manu is an artist and yoga teacher, and we are happy to share creative moments or yoga sessions with volunteers who are interested.
We also have a 10-month-old baby, so part of the help includes family life and childcare.
⸻
🏡 The place & location
The house is located in a peaceful village surrounded by nature, mountains and rivers.
• 5 minutes from a train station
• 45 minutes from both ski resorts and Mediterranean beaches
• 2h30 from Barcelona
It’s an ideal place if you enjoy nature, hiking, and a slower, more meaningful rhythm.
