    Description

    We are a small group of two families living in the north of Maine et Loire, close to Brittany, Loire Atlantique and Mayenne. We are Marie, Sylvain and their two children as well as Pascaline and Matthieu and their two children; the four young boys are from 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2015. They are all in Homeschooling. We share values ​​of respect, ecology and mutual aid. A family of 3 kids from 2007, 2015 and 2016 are buying a house in the hamlet. Not to mention Guillaume and Hélène with their daughter of 2015 who live a little further, children have already a lot of friends ...

    We have about 6000m2 of land, an orchard, a large greenhouse of 100m2, a vegetable garden in mounds, chickens, 5 cats.
    We house our friends in a yurt that has a stove.
    We love to welcome families especially, it creates friendships with our children.

    It's more the fact of welcoming and sharing moments that motivates us, even if it gives us the opportunity to work together, and therefore to be super efficient!

    We have Pascaline, Marie and Sylvain already lived (8 years for Ma and Syl) in a big family roommate where we adored these shared moments, that we would like to find with workaway.
    We trust in collective intelligence :)

    We look forward to welcoming you
