  • Description

    Description

    We're a British couple with a teenage son and a cat. We moved to France in 2020 to live next to Plum Village Monastery and to participate in their mindfulness activities and the wider lay community.
    Our home is 5 minutes walk from Plum Village's Lower Hamlet and we love popping in for evening meditation at the end of the day.
    Our home has two beautiful yurts in the garden, compost toilets and a two great showers. We're lucky enough to have peach, fig, nectarine, apple, pear, walnut and hazelnut trees in abundance.
    We live in a quiet valley, a few minutes drive from Loubes Bernac, which has a post office and a restaurant, 20 minutes from Eymet with it's bustling restaurants and beautiful weekly market and 25 minutes from Bergerac.
