    Description

    Hello travelers, dreamers, and other nature lovers.

    We are now a small family of three, Edward, Lulu, and Max, returning to our embryonic eco-site to continue this self-sufficiency project that is so dear to us, in joy and good humor.

    We will therefore prioritize families who want to share a pleasant moment, the story of our little Edward (3 years old) meeting new friends, and us too.

    We have space for campers and other vans, and for the moment, also a three-person tent that we can make available. One of our projects is to continue building one or more habitats with materials found on the land.

    We take the most natural approach possible, so we tinker without engines and live without chemicals, respecting this magnificent piece of nature bordered by a drinking water lake. We expect the same respect from volunteers for the land that welcomes them (industrial products known as personal hygiene products are not permitted).

    We will tailor the reception conditions according to your needs and our possibilities, and we will adjust together to the desired atmosphere, whether it's the location or the meals.

    We look forward to meeting you and sharing a part of life together.

    Bonjour les voyageurs, rêveurs et autres amoureux de la nature.

    Nous sommes maintenant une petite famille de 3, Edward, Lulu et Max qui revenons sur notre terrain-embryon d'ecolieu afin de continuer ce projet d'autonomie qui nous est cher, dans la joie et la bonne humeur.

    On priorisera du fait les familles qui souhaiteront partager un moment sympa, l'histoire que notre petit Edward (3ans) rencontre de nouveaux amis, et nous aussi.

    On a de la place pour les camping-car et autres vans, et pour l'instant aussi 1 tente 3 places qu'on peut mettre à disposition. Un des projets est de continuer à construire un voir plusieurs habitats avec les matériaux présents sur le terrain.

    On a une approche la plus naturelle possible donc on bricole sans moteurs et on vit sans produits chimiques, dans le respect de ce magnifique bout de nature bordé par un lac d'eau potable. On attend des volontaires le même égard vis-à-vis de la terre qui les accueille (les produits industriels dits d'hygiène corporelle ne sont pas admis).

    Nous aménagerons les conditions d'accueil en fonction des besoins, de nos possibilités et nous ajusterons ensemble selon la vibe créée, que ce soit pour l'endroit où se poser ou pour les repas.

    Au plaisir de vous rencontrer et de faire un bout de chemin de vie ensemble.
