  Description

  Welcome to our little paradise!
  
  We live not far from the center of a small town (easily accessible on foot or by bike in less than 10min) and we have the chance to be surrounded by a natural forest (oak, chestnut, hazelnut, acacia,...).
  
  Our very long-term goal is to build a mini tourist village there with two houses, a workshop, cabins in the woods, kerterre, a large greenhouse, a natural swimming pool, a garden forest and lots of animals.
  
  We are Charlotte and Mehdi, a young couple of 35 years old.
  Mehdi is a carpenter-joiner-designer of eco-label houses and a great autodidact.
  Charlotte is a veterinarian and also practices animal osteopathy.
  
  We live on the land in a mobile home and caravan while the first house is being built. We are about 1 hour from the beach and the mountain.
