Descripción
We live, Dominique & I , in an old renewed country farm at 1220 m asl settled in fields surounded by fir trees and spruce forest. We live in the Vercors massif, close to the National Natural Reserve and we have snow nearly six month a year but summers are warm and pleasant. We have got a dog, cats, hens and geese whose we eat only eggs. The water is provided by our own spring. We can reach the village in 30 mn by foot and we love nature, practice gardening, hiking in mountains. While I am now retired since last year, I still continue my research in late prehistory. Dominique is a nurse and also retired since november, 2019. We both like scottish countrydance and I play fiddle in an irish band. We practice speleology, ski... Louise (20) and her friend Maxime (23), both naturalists, are often here and we like to hike with them as much as practising archery or riding horses in wild areas. The region is also ideal fro mountain bike. As we own about 12 acres of forest close to us, we plan to build a log cabin for friends and familly.

Ayuda
As we plan to build a log cabin (4m x 4m) in our forest, about 400 m from home, I would like some help to work on. If able, possibility to use a chain saw, to drive a tractor and work on wood with manual tools. It can be nice to help in the garden and to do smal projects in the surounding.

Algo más...
On your time off, it is possible you have here an infinity of hiking possibilities, even on several days, to observe typical mountain wild fauna or botanical areas. There are lots of touristic sites to visit (caves, historical sites...). You can also get down to Grenoble (1 h) by bus, hitch hiking or with us as we get there sometimes. There, you have possibilities to visit museums (ethnography, natural sciences, art...). You can also walk or to be driven by us to the close (5km) touristic village of Villard de Lans where you will find shops, cinemas, terrace pubs, swiming pools, tennis, etc. We like to live simply, according as much as possible with the place here. We like also to simply cook around the camp fire and to recieve friends to play music.
