Description
The house and the garden need some renovations - a lot of details to fix (carpenter work, build a little wall, painting the facade ) and planting in the garden (people having some experience in permaculture will be especialy welcome)
I have room to host a single or a couple. The house is in town, very near the historical center of Arles, beautiful as much as the Alpilles or the beach not far at all. Walks in Camargue and in Provence are great. And cities as Avignon, Marseille, Montpellier, Nîmes are easy to reach by train.
My project here is to organize a house welcoming for artists of every kind, sometime just for recharging energy and ideas, sometime for working a project...

Arles is a beautiful historical city, little but with a rich cultural life, easy to reach by train (airport in Marseille). other interesting cities near Arles : Avignon, Marseille, Montpellier, Nîmes. And walks in Camargue, Alpilles, Cevennes...

I planned to stay 2 weeks - it was considered to be just a little stop in my France tour - and I stayed 4 months... This says it all. A life changing experience.
