About Us
We are Basile and Antonin, long-time friends, we embarked in 2021 on the purchase of an old flour mill. Basile is still working in Paris in a hospital while Antonin, a carpenter by trade, is on active vacation on the construction site to transform it into a house/workshop. We are both big fans of DIY: cycling, mechanics, electronics, welding, sewing, cooking and of course building. We are committed to using healthy and quality materials but above all to discovering and developing ecological, traditional and pleasant techniques to implement.
Our place
The old mill, which is more often called the mill, is located in the heart of a small village in the Landes, 23 km from the ocean. The environment is mainly made up of pine and oak forests, streams and dunes. The ocean being close, we spend a lot of time there on sunny days. Particularly at Contis plage, a small seaside resort where we go to surf, skate and enjoy the few very pleasant restaurants and bars in summer.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
We will be very happy to welcome volunteers here in Onesse, to enjoy with them the particularly pleasant environment during the summer: beach and forest. We will be happy to make you taste the typical dishes of the region, as well as participate in village festivals and local sports.
On the site, we take the time to do things according to local building traditions: oak frame, pine parquet, lime and earth plaster, cob. We will be delighted to discuss with you the different techniques, to teach you which one we use. The local building is an ecological building by nature, the use of similar materials, proven and sustainable techniques, intelligent in their use but also in their completion and promoting mutual aid.
Welcome to all at the Onesse flour mill!
