Description
We are Yannic, Marina and hand full of flatmates (changing from time to time) We work in the fields of pedagogy, music, art, craft and design and share a common fascination for the connection between our spheres of activity.
Motivated to create a common life and work project we founded the non-profit association, a sustainable and inspiring place where people can live and work in a community close to nature.
We have been revitalizing our property by the Vingeannes river since October 2019 and particularly committed to promoting youth welfare, environmental education, art and culture and explicitly wants to offer inclusive services for people with special needs.

Help
Up-to-date:
We are looking for a person for housesitting/cat feeding/garden care!!
As we will work on a festival we won't be here to enjoy time with you, but you could enjoy the place, live a happy live with two super cute cats and take care of a small veggie garden. We are happy to welcome you from now on quite spontaneously and extra happy if you stay longer to take care of the place when we are not here.
usually:
its mostly gardening ;) aaand: We got assigned by the village an area of forest grown especially to be cut and used by people from the village, we need someone who likes to carry a lot of wood :)
At the same time our electronic supply is in a bad condition. If you have Knowledge about this issue, you could help us to handle this more professional.
We need french speaking people to help with bureaucracy.
We've got a lot of bicycles... but many of them are in a bad condition. If you know how to fix them properly, please let us know :)
There is always some work to do in the garden and around the houses. We are planning some constructions like treehouses, a dome and much more... maybe working on it during your stay.
If you know how to sew, would be nice :) we have a lot of clothes that need to be fixed.
And... there is a community which wants to have fun... we organize our own cultural program and always need some support for this :)

During your stay, you will be part of the community. Means you carry all the advantages and responsibilities that belong to it.
3 meals a day - we will have enough food on side. Usually breakfast and lunch is prepared by every person individually. For dinner we will eat all together. Therefore we take into account eating habits and intolerances so that everyone can eat with us.
What else ...
The river Vingeannes passes directly on the land and it's possible to have a nice swim in the summer, close by there is the canal which is super nice for biking around (we have many bikes available to be used), a quiet and friendly little village, in surrounding villages nice wine production and Dijon city centre reachable by Bus worth the visit!
Transport connection is rare to our village. There is a bus going 2-3 times a day. Before arrival please check the Time schedule for the bus105 Dijon - Fontaine Francaise (the stop is called: Saint-Seine-sur-Vingeanne Chateau)
We can not guarantee to pick you up by car from Dijon. Also it takes around 2h for both ways and will cost around 20€.

I planned for two, but in the end stayed three weeks, which I think days enough!

Therefore I can just recommend this place.

but the time we had i really enjoyed. Also the time was too short to get to an effective working process. But i imagine Nuria as a reliable person with a bunch of skills. Hope to host her again
I like the way you are... your humor, your cookings and of course your work. You have been a great help.
