Description
I bought a ruin in 1975. It was the ruin of a sheepfold dating from the Middle Ages. I built a house on this ruin helped by my wife Mireille. We had two daughters who grew up in this house. I wanted to make a very original and artistic house.
Then in 1998 we bought the house next door. I didn't do anything there for years because I was an art teacher a few hours away. But now that I am retired I am starting to redo this second house in an artistic way as well. I am very interested in art and architecture. Besides, I studied architecture in the past. So I come often, on average two weeks out of three to work on improving these two houses. I would like to share my experience with people interested in construction even if they have no experience in this field yet. The place is located in Fitou between Narbonne and Perpignan. I am not always in Fitou. In general, I come to receive the volunteers for one or two consecutive weeks.
J'ai acheté une ruine en 1975. c'était la ruine d'une bergerie datant du Moyen-Age. J'ai construit une maison sur cette ruine aidé par ma femme Mireille. Nous avons eu deux filles qui ont grandi dans cette maison. J'ai voulu faire une maison très originale et artistique.
Puis, en 1998 nous avons acheté la maison voisine. Je n'y ai rien fait pendant des années car j'étais professeur d'arts plastiques à quelques heures de là. Mais maintenant que je suis à la retraite je commence à refaire cette deuxième maison de manière artistique également. Je suis très intéressé par l'art et l'architecture. D'ailleurs, j'ai fait des études d'architecture autrefois. Je viens donc souvent, en moyenne deux semaines sur trois pour travailler à l'amélioration de ces deux maisons. J'aimerais faire partager mon expérience avec des personnes intéressées par la construction même si elles n'ont encore aucune expérience dans ce domaine. L'endroit se trouve à Fitou entre Narbonne et Perpignan. Je ne suis pas toujours à Fitou. En général je viens reçois les volontaires une ou deux semaines consécutives.

This is an amazing place! In the one week we spend here we learned so much; from craftmans skills to different types of cheese we ate after every meal. Thierry is a lovely person with good humor and patience to explain every task that has been done. We enjoyed our stay and if you ever need some help, call us. :)

Thierry is an inspiring man who has found the fountain of youth. He's easy to talk to, very kind and empathic, and very funny. He's creative in his work and pleasant to work with. I've learned a lot. Fitou is a charming village and the region has an interesting history. I highly recommend this project and this stay.

I spend one week at Thierrys place. He is a very relaxed and humorous host. I very much enjoyed my week in Fitou. We had flexible working times, where we did some renovation work and creative decoration work. It was a very inspiring week and a great pleasure to get to know him.

Michael and Sibylle made us have a very nice week. Michael works independently and is very perfectionist. He is also very peaceful and interesting in his conversations. Sybille has a good sense of humor and analyzes situations. She is also very autonomous in her work which is very well done. Thank you for your pleasant presence.

I loved my WorkAway experience with Thierry (and Mies, the other WorkAwayer)! Thierry is so incredibly kind, sweet, and generous. The work was fun and meditative, we ate and drank like queens, peaceful, sunny Fitou is very beautiful, and the house was cozy, with the wood burning stove crackling away every night.

Thierry was a great host, very generous and kind. He is very creative in thinking of new ways to improve his house. I have learned a great deal on construction and how to approach a project from many different perspectives. The house we stayed in has a view that can't be beat, and was close to the beach.
