  Description

  We are a Co-living community which was born from a desire to circumvent the traditional pathways of living and explore alternative way to fulfil our human needs.
  
  In 2023 we purchased our 200 year old, 900m2 building with a view to renovating it and the land around it. With complimentary skill sets, we are embarking on a labour of love that we hope will last for generations.
  
  We feel that each member of the team has lived curious, alternative and contrasting lives thus far, giving us distinct and overlapping ideas, values & philosophies which will be channeled into this project. We have big ambitions, and we know that these can only be met with the help of a unique blend of contributors. Thats why we need you!

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  A founding principle of this project is that we aim to engage local community with international guests. We live in a small town of around 200 people, most of whom are living quite traditional rural lives. We already have good relationships with neighbours and are actively exploring ideas concerning how we can return our building to its status as a hub for the community, with the added benefits associated with a revolving cast of international visitors.
  
  In collaboration with our neighbours, we have established an association which aims to provide a space for our local community to congregate, host events and enjoy each other company. Our first project has been to open our doors once per week as a non-profit cafe which has in turn resulted in clothes and plant swapping events, cake baking competitions and impromptu gigs! As a resident here you are encouraged to join in and contribute to these moments.

  Aide

  You'll join us we we transition from our inception stage into becoming a functioning co-living community.
  
  We anticipate it to be a very exciting time with lots of opportunity to roll up your sleeves and get involved! We wont be asking you to do anything that we won't be doing ourselves...this could range from working with David in our No-Dig Kitchen garden, spending time in the kitchen with Lucile preparing to host a communal meal, collaborating with Pol on new social media content & helping Heloise with some painting.
  
  We will also accept special projects on a case by case basis, so if there is a particular project which you would like to realise or you have a particular skill set which you think we will find useful within our community please get in touch and we can have a discussion about how we can make it work!
  
  To make sure the relationship is a good fit, we will ask you fill out a short questionnaire and have a quick video chat with us before we consider accepting your application. This is to avoid any mismatching and to make sure we form a relationship which works for both of us.

  The local area is a playground for those with creative minds and a taste for exploration. 5 minutes walk from the house you can bathe in clear mountain water...and if you are brave enough, dive from the local bridge! Beyond that, the Pyrenees mountains offers you opportunity for all the things you would associate with the mountains, including mountain biking, paragliding, skiing, hiking, wild swimming & foraging.
  
  The local town of Oloron Saint marie, accessed by a 10 minute train ride, has everything you will need in terms of French culture, including quaint bars, small shops & bakeries, music and even the legendary Lindt Chocolate factory which occasionally leaves the small town smelling like Chocolate!
  
  Please be aware that we in a rural town! We have a train connection with 3 trains per day that is walkable from the house. There is a local butchers shop where you can buy simple things such as eggs, bread and meat and we provide bikes for residents to cycle to Oloron.
