    Descripción

    Be part of our conscious project in the mountains of the Ardèche in France! Ecology, permaculture, sustainability, transition, love of life and nature are all areas which we explore and would love to share. We are a family with 3 youngsters (which work and study abroad but share parts of the summer with us) and a 13 years old son that is still home.

    We often have friends and family around and run a small b&b, slowly transitioning from tourism to a wellness place. A yurt and a cosy chalet on our beautiful land nested in the middle of nature are rented out in summer season. The rental though is only a small part of our project as the main focus is the development of sustainability, promoting awareness of our environment and integral consciousness, a path that we go (very!) humbly day by day.

    The help we ask is two fold : we appreciate help in family kitchen, general maintenance and light garden help, the other profile that we are looking for is more practical DIY : helping out with light building projects, tending to the stables and landscaping around the house. Please note that no help with paying guests or maintenance of spaces used by paying guests is requested from volunteers.

    We are looking for like minded souls mainly during the late spring, summer and autumn. We offer untouched nature, springs and rivers to swim and fish nearby, horseback riding (we have 4 horses on the land from spring to fall). We like to share moments around bbq's and campfires, sometimes even a sweat lodge where we connect with nature. Spirituality, yoga, ayurveda, art and music are welcome in our busy lives, even if we sometimes struggle to make enough room for these. At the end of the day we like to share some fresh and soulful food and toast to life together.

    We are looking for mature, energetic and hands on people that can work together and be independent when needed. No skills required but an eagerness to learn and grow in life.

    Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

    We offer a place in the middle of nature where you can reconnect with yourself and the seasons. Long walks and horseback riding, fishing, swimming in the river during the summer, collecting mushrooms in fall. I am a routined 'professional' cook and can teach you classical as well as world kitchens or vegetarian and 'free from' diets. We strive to eat organic and local produce as much as possible.

    We are fluent in French, Dutch and English and can help you out with these languages. We understand some Spanish and German.

    We are looking for all round help 4 hours a day, 5 days per week. Depending on the season the help is in the garden (weeding, harvesting, watering), general maintenance (cooking lunch, tidying up the kitchen, light cleaning help in depth recurring cleaning projects, watering plants, feeding animals), or with building and landscaping projects. (fencing, wood cutting, trimming and shredding, woodwork, painting, and any skill that you have is welcome!)

    Besides the daily hours we expect you to take care of your room and help out with the regular house chores as dressing the table, clearing the table, vacuum clean living spaces etc.

    Alojamiento

    We live in an old farm (more then 200 years old) that has been cosily renovated. We have a large meadow (5 hectares) in front of the house with horses, two goats, a veggie garden and a chicken pen. Springswith clear wather run through the valley, our tapwater is all natural and from the highest quality. Around us there are 4 more hectares of land, surrounded by natural reserve and forest.
    We rent out two rooms and a bathroom in the house and have guests mainly during the summer season. Apart from that we have four rooms for ourselves, one of which is available to acommodate a workawayer.
    For the rest there is large kitchen were we very much live, a dining room and a cosy living room with two fireplaces. it is a typical farmers house with lots of old woodwork and stone. Upstairs is an open room with a smart TV and games. WIFI and 4G are available in the house, outside only 4G.

    A large and comfortable caravan is available (can host 2 persons) and offers the possibility of living mostly independently whilst enjoying your stay.
    When the weather is mild (from May to October), it is also possible to sleep in a tent outside. There is an outdoor sanitary tiny house on the land, and soon the outdoor kitchen!

    So, many possibilities depending on your needs!

    We have lunch and evening meal together. Whenever it is possible we eat outside. In the summer season when we provide guests tables it is possible that we eat apart, depending on the moment and the guests we host!
    We are food lovers, flexitariens, open to vegetarian and free from diets, but not vegan.

    Algo más...

    Our nearest neighbour is 2,5 km further down towards the village of Lanarce, a small rural village with 180 inhabitants. In the village there are renowned butchers, a wonderfull 'fromagerie' - cheese diary, a baker, a pancake house and a pizzeria + three restaurants. The region is quite touristic in summer season.There is a bus only twice a day, going to the nearest cities of Le Puy en Velay (starting point of the famous Compostela Pelgrims route) and Aubenas (both approximately 1 hour away). Local people are used to hitchhikers so that is also a way to go along. Some larger villages are a 15 minutes drive away, where you will find most shops and were we go to the local market once or twice a week. We try to avoid supermarket as much as we can.
    There are several lakes close by and half an hour walking from our land there is a river where you can bathe. The region has mostly pristine nature and wonderfull produce to offer. You can also go for canyoning and kayaking on the nearbij rivers Ardèche and Chassezac. Should you want to travel a bit further, the valley of the Rhone with its famous vineyards and the grotte Chauvet (most ancient cave in Europe) and the Provence with its lavender fields and olive trees awaits you. The medditeranean sea is a few hours traveling from our place. In the summer the temperature rises to 35°C, in the valley of the Rhone it would be around 40°C. Since we have a sunny mountain climate, the temperature is nice during the day even when there is snow, but the nights are cool and it can be quite cold during winter (up to -20 °C).

    We have wifi and 4G, working average to well. Coverage for most french operators except Bouygues (no téléphone service for this operator in the whole area). Most internet services work correctly. Sometimes difficulties with video streaming, depending on the weather. Bram has a full time virtual job conferencing via vpn and this works fine.
