  Description

  Our project is to build collectively an ecoplace in a wonderfull area : in a small village in the country side, by the sea, in a National Park, where flora and fauna are preserved.
  Bought in 2018, the land (O,6 hectares) has been planted with a lot of plants and trees (in order to be an edible forest garden) and we're building a bioclimatic house (wood, straw and soil).
  The aim is to live there and to host people who want to learn about permaculture and to experiment ecological transition.
  To care about nature and about each other, to share our respectives knowledges and to spend good and meaningful time are the main principles. We enjoy collective way of life but the respect of one's needs, included the aspiration to be by oneself, is valued.
  I, Aurelie, am 52 and I'm a researcher and professor of sociology in Paris ; Sasha, 22, is studying circus and acrobatics ; Mado, 19, is studying political science ; and Pauline, 12, is at school in a Montessori pedagogy ; Marin, 52, is from the region and had already built his own house the same way, he teaches chess and plays guitar.
  A lot of friends, neighbors and volunteers, contribute to the project (André and Arielle, architects ; Christophe, carpenter ; Hans, traveler and baker ; Georges and Mireille, neighbors retired ; Emlily, volunteer, nurse and potter ; Benoît, handyman neighbor ; Philippe et Martine, idem et fins connaisseurs de la faune et flore locaux ...). The list would be too long but we are very grateful for all that wonderful encounters !
