  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Your english and french-speaking hosts are very experienced in gardening, house renovation, catering and furniture making with many skills to transmit. We are well integrated with the local community.
  
  The Morvan is a beautiful, rugged and unspoilt part of France with superb walking a cycling routes, lakes and forests. We are in a fairly remote location, 22km from the nearest town although our local viallges provide some basic services and supplies. The air is very pure, the nights are very very dark.
  
  We are musicians (classical) so you would be welcome to bring your instrument and have a place to practice, etc .
