Description
This is a new project to create a small medieval village in the heart of the Eure et Loir région of France. Our aim is to restore a small wooded area to its former beauty and incorporate a kitchen garden. Our goal is to build a dwelling using medieval methods such as lathe and cob,, shingle roof using our trees and materials found on site.
