Bonjour !
At the moment ,from now November till end of the winter i would like to receive Nice guys interested in learning a lot about building or able to do , or even girls interested in that ! And , naturally, planting trees !!!
i would like to share my life with nice persons , musicians if possible , who are interested in an organic way of life and able to give me hand.
I am a french woman 66 years old, young in my mind and working on a small farm without pesticide, 5 hectares of land where you can help me planting trees ; I also have several animals , 6 sheeps and a chicken run which you can help look after. I have an organic vegetable garden and a big inside polytunnel for feeding you, me and my friends.
My objective is to develop a natural environment to survive, to respect nature and to limit pollution; to live and eat well!
My place is located 25kms south of Nantes city, south Brittany; you can get to the city by bus or train at the week end. Since i live alone, we will share meals. This way , we can talk and you can learn french!
Anyone who is simple, conscientious and creative, who is interested in learning about an other way of life, in contact with nature, is welcome to give me hand in exchange for good food and lodging, learning new and of course the french language.
musicians are welcome; there are plenty instruments there!
During the summer months you will stay just beside my house in a big caravan and in the winter you will stay in a comfortable room indoors.
I don't need any help before ten in the morning.
If I could meet some nice people to share my paradise I could escape from time to time! it would be very nice!
I think that the best is to spend minimum 3 weeks at my place to understand the spirit of it and really learn something, but I may receive you just for a while if you want to visit me and give me hand for gardening or anything else;
here, you can learn a lot about organic life, learning french, music, gardening, building if you are interested.
People who have knowledge about music are very welcome!!!
What is important for me is that people is nice and open minded!
