Details
Description
We are a family living in a small village, located in the ‘Entre-Deux-Mers’ (Beteen two tides) region. We have two kids, full of energy and adorable, at the age of 2 years and 7 years, and we’re living in a new wood-built home with a large plot of agricultural land. Our daughter goes to an alternative forest school.
The four of us live together with hens and their little chicks and soon with sheep as well. Passionate about ecological transition, permaculture, agroforestry we convert progressively our lives in this direction. We love travelling by bike, meeting other cultures, exchanging!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We can make you discover our lifestyle, our culture and share thoughts about agroecological transition. We have had several experiences with local farms. We can also take some time to let you discover the region we live in; forests, lakes and small wine estates illustrate the landscape. If you’re an amateur cross-country runner we could exercise together. And in summer there are various concerts and ‘guinguettes’ to look out for.

Projects involving children

Help
We assist with small activities related to family life; suggest children games to play around nature and gardens, taking care of our vegetable garden and our small animals, handling small outdoor tasks (with pallets…) in order to make the gardening and break time more comfortable. And obviously we are open to any of your ideas or talents!
Even though we love travelling, our level of English remains far from being perfect. So, discussing with you in English will be utterly educational for us. In exchange, we would be glad to introduce you to the French language or make some progress.
