  • Description

    Description

    Active as musicologist and music programmer, I used to have a festival and aside I concentrated on a big spiral vegetable garden based on the principles of permaculture. Change of path and place, but I keep the same red line: music and nature. I've traveled myself as workawayer, but now I have the chance to host.

    Me and the kids live in a chalet on the hill, near the woods in an open area. Various things we are into now: as said a project of developping a vegetable garden; a beautiful tiny house (of an old french circus) that needs an uplift and for the summer lots of upcoming ideas around the house.

    I do live with my two kids (8 & 9) and a black cat, at the border of a beautiful small little village where we arrived only last year. So new things to launch for the spring! If you're willing to join the adventure: it would be a pleasure to welcome you!

    In a bath of nature with beautifull sunsets, you'll have the chance to share this small isolated paradise, while acting to develop our upcoming eco-project. We'll check how to join forces and we'll have to be inventive anyway.
