    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I d like to improve the place, make a fairy fantasy forest, I am settling in the region since 1 year and looking to develop a project around nature and culture, it could be an artist residency, or sometimes making small events, as a rental during summer..
    I am a very curious person, open-minded and I am looking for inspired, creative , handy people to make this place even more beautiful than it already is.

    I will need help gardening, building, fixing stuff, creating projects, pruning, sewing...the idea is to make an artist residence, a place out of the time, it has already a big potential.
    You can stay during autumn or winter in the studios or during spring or summer in the caravans spot in exchange for cottage and food ,. you ll help me a few hours a day (3/5h), depending the priorities, and if I'm really happy with the work I'm open-minded when it comes to a money proposal.
    you can always stay in your camper van if you have one.

    I can pay 10/15 euros for an hour of work.

    Can host digital nomads

    It’s a fully autonomous place, totally lost into oaks forest with a river (a water drilling, batteries, and a solar power system for electricity, Starlink and Wi-Fi repeaters for internet). Power consumption may be limited in case of bad weather. There’s a generator as plan B. This place requires awareness and a responsible lifestyle regarding the use of various resources. It also requires full respect for the nature. That said, the site can still provide between 5 and 10 kW of electricity, which is more than enough for reasonable consumption.
