Stay at a lovely watermill turned into a mini-farm and explore land life and the arts near Aurignac, France

  Description

  After cycling several continents and trying serious jobs in Holland, we landed at a beautiful spot in an isolated part of the south of France. We put on our DIY caps and turned the watermill into a mini-farm . Just by the time we had 'finished' our tree-project a few years later, eager for something new, our base Aurignac for some reason turned from dormant into a blossoming town. By -often young- people arriving with plenty of new projects and initiatives. It often feels like a playground here. In this new dimension, with over 50 associations for 1200 inhabitants, we ourselves started a music festival three years ago and a wall-painting project this year. We're old geezers to most of you, but we never stopped playing around.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We cycled through Russia in the early nineties, as the country was leaning to the west. The people at the Russian countryside were very inspiring. Warm people who always found a solution. It had a huge impact on us.
  
  If a tap leaks, we repair it. If the river floods, we stay zen.
  We hope to show that you can do more then you think.
  We also embrace the concept of 'neuro-plasticity': you can change more then you think...
  And we try integrate the change from city to country-men and from a northern to a latin culture, which an interesting challenge.

  Aide

  We like to challenge you. To help you push your limits, expand your horizon, ask yourself questions, to stay positive and to adress your stuff. Together with others or silently. To come work and play. The jobs go from making butter, to weeding, building a shower-cabin, to creating a music space or a wall painting. And to throw the ball for the dog Kali, who fits the house well.
