  Description

  We are a happy couple living in a very small village in the Cévennes and on the border of Lozère. Kevin 32 years old, Céline 35 years old and Loukie our dog. We like simple things, nature, discussions, music, good meals. The house is located in a small village where there is a spring in the garden and a river for swimming. We have a lot of plans for our house and its exterior. For the moment, we are focusing on the exterior. There is clearing work, gardening, cutting/planting trees, doing earthworks, building a garden shed, erecting a stone wall, emptying a ruin that has been invaded by brambles..... After that we would like to create a vegetable garden and a chicken coop in the ruin. In the future, we would like to make gites in our house.
  
  Nous sommes un couple heureux installé dans un tout petit village des Cévennes et à la frontière de la Lozère. Kevin 32 ans, Céline 35 ans et Loukie notre chien.
  Nous aimons les choses simples, la nature, les discutions, la musique, les bons repas.
  La maison est situé dans un petit village ou se trouve une source dans le jardin et une rivière pour se baigner.
  Nous avons beaucoup de projet pour notre maison et son extérieur. Pour le moment, nous faisons un focus sur l'extérieur. Il y a des travaux de débroussaillage, jardinage, couper/planter des arbres, faire un terrassement, construire un abri de jardin, monter un mur en pierre, vider un ruine qui a été envahi par les ronces..... Après ça nous aimerions créer un potager et un poulailler dans la ruine.
  Dans le future, nous aimerions faire des gîtes dans notre maison.

  What else ...

  It is better to have a vehicle because there is no public transport and we only have one 2-seater vehicle. The village is truly in the heart of nature. The region offers many hikes in the Cévennes, and between the Jonte and Tarn gorges. In summer, there are many tourist activities in the villages.
  
  Il est préférable d'avoir un véhicule car il n'y a pas de transport en commun et nous avons qu'un seul véhicule 2 places. Le village est vraiment au coeur de la nature.
