    Description

    In a few days our family (Diane, my wife and my 3 children: Noa - 5 years old -, Luna & Paco - 3 years old - and I, Jérémy) will move into a water mill, its outbuilding, It’s swimming pool and its 4 ha of wood in the Tarn near gaillac north of Toulouse
    Our short-term goal is to achieve energy self-sufficiency (thanks to solar and hydroelectricity), food (thanks to Permaculture and animal husbandry) and water (thanks to drinking water from spring water)
    In the medium term, the center will be an initiation and training center for Permaculture and resilience in general.
    Finally this place will transform into an eco place where it will be just good to live and in which the motto will be “less is more! "
    Motivated to be part of the adventure?

    Dans quelques jour notre famille (Diane, ma femme et mes 3 enfants : Noa - 5 ans -, Luna & Paco - 3 ans - et moi, Jérémy) va emménager dans un moulin à eau, sa dépendance, sa piscine et ses 4 ha de bois dans le Tarn à côté de gaillac au nord de Toulouse.
    Notre objectif a court terme est d’atteindre l’autonomie énergétique (grâce à l’électricité solaire et hydroélectrique), alimentaire (grâce à la Permaculture et l’élevage) et en eau ( grâce à la potabilisation de l’eau de source)
    A moyen terme lieu sera un centre d’initiation et de formation à la Permaculture et à la résilience de façon générale.
    Enfin ce lieu se transformera en un eco lieu où il fera juste bon vivre et dans lequel la devise sera «  less is more ! »
    Motivé pour faire parti de l’aventure ?
