  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  I'm peaceful on the campagne : 120 hectares of forest around the house to walk, some lakes you can go on bike.
  
  We have a small city but with all the accommodation (bakery, pub, restaurant, pharmacie, supermarket, small shop) to 7 km. Bikes are lend. We often have animations on villages nearby.
  
  About 30 minutes bus, you can do some kayaking, camping, shopping. You have the bus-station to go to Toulouse ( 30 minutes more).
  Toulouse called the “pink city”, is one of the biggest city in France. Architecture and parcs make it a beautiful city with welcoming and kind people.
  Currently, it’s a city with a lot of musician and lot of music in pub and multiple places.
  You have many attractions a big city can purpose.
  
  We like to share our way of life, culture and make discover our place : we like to share discussion, make discover some place in our region ( eat near a lake, walk in the forest or other place), going to animations nearby, share cooking.
  We like to know others cultures too : with this project, for the moment we can't travel. So welcoming foreigners allows us to travel while staying at home.
  
  If you have a car, it's around 1 hour to arrive at the beginning of montagne : the Pyrenees.

  Hébergement

  There is a trailer tent under trees for workers. Two rooms with two little beds two places, and place to tidy your things. We mostly live outside, because the weather permit it, and be under the old oak is really appreciable. If it's cold or rainy, we can do on my caravan to cook or chill. A wooden shed for the shower with hot water ( with gaz or sun) and dry toilet ( but you have "normal toilet" in the village if it's too hard for you ).
  
  The place is connected to electricity, water and internet
  
  Meals, which are mainly vegetarian, have to be made on one or two days basing.
  I'd like to make the best use of the sun to cook with solar glass pip and solar hoven. I hope to success the vegetable garden to eat his production with you. It's important for me to make home cooking and use the less as possible transformed food.
  We hear a lot that dinner time is important in France, in all case it is for me because it’s a real moment of sharing.

  Autres infos...

  I like to live in a community. I’ve already made workaway and lived in a co-location. I appreciate meeting new people, culture and ways of thinking.
  I like top work with people because it gives energy and motivation, and I have the feeling of being more efficient. Energy of work groups is truly something beautiful to my eyes.
  
  I work at fulltime as I try to build my own house and gear up the place.
  
  I'm working out of the house during the day ( 4 days a week) and i try to be at home between 16h30 and 17h, and my boyfriend work on his cumputer at the house 3 days a week.
  We will work together 2 or 3 hours the evenings (exept when i don't have motivation or if it's really too hot) and 5 hours a day on week ends. You will have 2 days off per week, choice at your convenience.
  We like to move a little during the week end and sometimes during the week like doing to lake around, drink a beer to the city, walk in the forest... and we like to share this time with workers if there are interested.
  We really like to share our cultures and spend time to talk with the people who come. Like this, we can continue to travel and staying at home.
  
  
  The organization of working time may be discussed together.
  You will be independant for the rest of the day to prepare the schedule, to choose the organisation of your day.
