Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Liguria is a wonderful place, with a rich and interesting culture. The Maritime Alps are in the southwestern part of the Alps, and the area is famous for its glorious beaches, excellent weather and unique eco system. Hiking, kayaking, cycling, whale watching… we’ve got it all! We are very close to the Italian border, and roughly 1.5 hours from both Nice and Genova. There are many interesting and alternative villages in the area. You will have plenty of opportunity to exchange ideas about one planet living, European eco village networks, and creative cultural dissent.
We are a relaxed and sociable bunch. We expect you to do your share of work, and then have yourselves a good time. We are open to people of all nationalities and gender.Projets impliquant des enfants

Aide
We have recently moved into our property, a renovated rustico, set on 21,000 sq. metres of land, abundant in olive, fig and orange trees, plus dozens of baby fruit trees, vines, and aromatic herbs. In this first phase, we need help to maintain and clear the land, to renovate and build new structures, and assistance with childcare duties/tutoring.
We are learning by experimenting with permaculture, no dig and most of all composting; if you have knowledge and experience nourishing soil please come and help us.
Other needs are weeding, pruning, mulching, repairing drystone walls, laying paths and general maintenance. Artists and cultural collaborators are also welcome!Langues parlées

We have several places for you to stay.
1) A snug split-level building next to our house, equipped with bathroom, kitchen, electricity.
This would suit a couple or two friends.
2) A fully equipped small camper van, with electricity and kitchen area.
3) A secluded tent spot, for Summer visits.
4) A converted stable. This is a shared location, pretty basic, but all functional.Autres infos...

I was in Taggia for about three weeks on my way North. Saci and Anna are ver friendly, nice and funny.
