    Description

    I bought a huge house 6 years ago, and after this long I am still working on different projects at the same time.
    I have renovated 2 flats in the house, created a brewery and a bar and made the place nicer…

    Nowadays, I am handling a lot of outside work (taking care of the trees and field, feeding the chooks, taking care of the bees ... ) etc.
    I’m also starting renovating the top of the house, under the roof. It s a big wide playground for me, where I plan to create kind of a dorm, with a small kitchen and bathroom and on the other side create a rehearsal space for theatre companies and else..

    I m living in a small mountain village, where there are more cows than inhabitant ! If you want to discover a rural town, the mountains, etc...
    From my place, it's really easy to go hike, bike, climbing, sit around the river or a lake...
    Beside that, Chambery, the closest city, is 20min far, and have a lot of cultural stuff to discover.

    Accommodation

    Right now, you'll have to chose between a tent outside, a convertible couch in my flat (comfy) or the top of the house (rustic)…, and share the rest of the house with me (kitchen, bathroom, etc.)
    I m planning on building a room like a dormatory in order to have a better accomodation for my guests. (one of the job will be to renovate this !)
