    Description

    I'm living in an outdoor domain in the mountain between Lyon and Clermont-Ferrand in the Loire county, above the vineyard.

    The surrounding domain is 7Ha large and I can't care it by my own only.
    The domain of Ermitage les Roches has a such peculiar situation that people find here energy, quietness, and deep feeling of nature, in order to rebuild as much spirit and body in a perfect equilibrium.

    However to enable hosting I need to enhance capacity and comfort as well as to ensure maintenance of the outdoors (terraces, natural stones walls, wood cleaning and timbering, gardening, wood building, masonry etc.)
    Unfortunately I can't do it alone on my own as I'm now 62 years old.
    This is why I need some help, and I'll be pleased to host people ready to help me maintaining and restoring the domain in a cultural exchange spirit, sharing experiences and expertises.

    I'll be happy to make people profit by my experience of life as I also did mentoring of young entrepreneurs and professionals in my business life. Together with a nice stay home with good cooking.

    Help

    Everything related to building and restoring old stone house, timbering, wood framing, designing outdoor surroundings. Welcoming people who are keen to help maintaining the domain against a healthy stay in an exceptional place where you face a 360 view on the Loire valley, live surrounded by nature only, meet deers and fox, birds and wild boars.

    as the house is isolated I have to achieve most works by my own in a self-construction approach. When it's possible I hire tradespeople for specific works but it's hard to motivate people coming there, that's why I have to do the work by myself.

    I do not want any help regarding the hosts I welcome when I rent the house. I only need help to work in the domain outside when I'm there.
