    Description

    I'm Clotilde, 73 years old, creating an eco-village in the mid-mountains of southern France. My main activity is building myself a habitable cabin, but also gardening and wild plant gathering. A second resident, 37 years old, lives in a yurt with her two young children. We're in a protected and wooded area, with our own springs, surrounded by nature.
