    Description

    Hi everyone,

    We are a small collective of eight people living on 33 hectares of beautiful land with several valleys, a lake and a magical view of the Pyrenees mountains, in the south-west of France.
    The project was initiated in 2018 by three long-time friends, driven by the dream of creating a space of peace and beauty, for and with future generations.

    Between 2023 and 2025, we carried out a large participatory building project, adding two new homes in wood-and-straw ecological construction to the main building.
    In 2026 and 2027, we will continue with new projects to improve and develop our shared spaces.

    There is always plenty to do here: various projects are ongoing, and taking care of the land and the place is very important to us. For volunteers, this is a great opportunity to learn, share and contribute their skills.
    Also located on our land is Ferme de Noé, which produces vegetables and fruits. We are always happy to lend a hand whenever help is needed.
    If you would like to discover life in an eco-community and experience collective living with six adults, two children, and volunteers, we would be happy to welcome you!

    We ask volunteers to contribute 4 to 5 hours per day (in the morning or afternoon), up to a maximum of 25 hours per week, to the activities of the place. Volunteers also take part in preparing dinner a few times a week, as well as in collective activities such as the weekly big clean (once a week).

    We look forward to welcoming you!
    See you soon — Vive la VIE! 🌿✨

    Salut à toutes et tous ,

    Nous sommes un petit collectif de 8 personnes installées sur 33 hectares de terres magnifiques avec plusieurs vallées , un lac et une vue magique sur les montagnes des Pyrénées, dans le sud-ouest de la France.
    Le projet a été initié en 2018 par trois amis de longue date, animés par le rêve de réaliser un espace de paix et de beauté pour et avec les générations futures.

    Entre 2023 et 2025 nous avons réalisé un grand chantier participatif de deux nouveaux logements en écoconstruction bois-paille à la bâtisse principale.
    En 2026/2027 nous avons d'autres chantiers pour améliorer nos espaces.
    Il y a toujours plein de choses à faire sur notre lieu, différents projets s'y déroulent et l'entretien de notre domaine nous tient à cœur. Installée sur notre domaine il y a aussi la Fermé de Noé qui produit des légumes et des fruits, nous sont toujours prêts à donner un coup de main en cas de besoin.
    Pour nos volontaires c'est l'occasion d'apprendre et de mettre à disposition leurs compétences!
    Si tu as envie de découvrir la vie en écolieu et le mode de vie en collectif avec six adultes, deux enfants et des bénévoles nous sommes prêts à t'accueillir.

    Nous demandons aux volontaires de participer 4 à 5 heures par jour (le matin ou l'après midi) pour maximum 25 heures par semaine aux activités du lieux et participer à la préparation du diner quelques fois dans la semaine ainsi que les activités collective comme le grand ménage hebdomadaire (une fois par semaine).

    On vous attends ! A bientôt! Vive la VIE !!
