  Description

  We are a british-french couple renovating an old french farmhouse with outbuildings and some land (4000m2).
  
  We want it to be as eco as possible in the future, and we are using reclaimed materials as much as possible. We have plans to set up a place for others to stay (camping), build a cabin, eco toilets, finish our small swimming pool and do creative workshops (music, yoga, cooking).
