  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. We're connected to our neighbors and friends and enjoy welcoming people. We also love to sing and dance spontaneously, meditate, and do yoga...
