  Description

  Hello everyone, I have a plot of land measuring about 2,000 square meters that I struggle to maintain alone. The brambles take advantage of my weakness and grow a little more each year. I love gardening, but I can't seem to manage them and enjoy a beautiful plot of land where I can relax. As soon as a friend comes to help me, I'm doubly motivated. With two or more people, it's much easier and very nice.
  
  I live in the countryside, 1 km from the town, in a commune of 2,000 inhabitants.
  My garden grows flowers, vegetables, and fruit trees. I don't use any chemicals ; I spread all my organic waste directly on the flowerbeds or at the base of the trees. A stream runs at the bottom of the garden : that's why my hamlet is called "Stank Vihan", it means a place where runs water.
  
  The current priority in my garden is to cut back the brambles and pull them out (with a scythe or brush cutter). I'll do it with you, of course (it's easier than it looks !). Oak and chestnut trees have begun to grow over a large part of the land, which will become a lovely grove.
  
  For years, I've been hosting travelers via other platforms or all. And I also travel thanks to this accommodation website for cyclists.
  I love making crêpes ! I'm a huge locavore ! And vegetarian.
  My house is 100 years old and was renovated in the traditional way with lime-hemp insulation. I don't have a bathroom. The dry toilets are outside. I simply have a shower stall in a private room and a sink in the main room. And a solar shower outside. I have a lovely cat.
  I'm passionate about local culture (singing and dancing heritage, traditional costumes, etc.)
  I look forward to welcoming you soon !

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Brittany is a culturally rich land, and I grew up in this land. Breton song and dance are what inspire me the most ("fest-noz"), the surrounding nature, the mystery of the megaliths... I'd be happy to introduce you to the local cultural heritage (dance, singing, megaliths, museums, the surrounding nature, Monts d'Arrée, Karrek an Tan, Huelgoat, Castle and garden of Trevarez...) and take you to a fest-noz, if you don't make it to the one I organize in my house once a year in September.

  I live 1 km from the town, which has a convenience store, post office, pharmacy, and a bicycle and car service. I order my bread and all my food from an organic producers' group.
  8 km away, in Châteauneuf-du-Faou, there's a bus that serves the entire department.
