Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a French-Ukrainian couple that met in Belgium and moved to France 4 years ago to live close to the nature specifically mountains. We renovated the house which is 200 years old on our own with natural materials and respecting the methods to preserve the building made with ground.
In our house no culture, nationality, religion or other sort of titles are making any importance.
We are happy to share gardening and DIY projects with you.
Type of such activities depends on the period of the year of your visit. In warm period of the year we mainly busy with gardening: planting, vegetable garden using permaculture methods.
In cold times, we often do the DIY projects in a house or in a barn.
We are always open to discuss your interest and contributions and how it can align with our projects. -
