  Descrição

  Irish musician living on our organic smallholding in the south of france. We have meadow and forest land that needs constant tending, A great organic/biodamic veg garden and have planted many fruit and nut trees, and some botanicals...We have hens and sheep ....2 types of rare hair sheep ; Soay and Cameroons! We love it up here, no neighbours but lots of wild animals and big old cedar and chestnut trees. We are totally off grid here so have our own electricity, and water. So there are lots of things to be done each day, walls to be repaired, wood to be gathered and cut, garden work, farmwork etc..... There is a great village market each week throughout the year which has live music, food etc. There is a micro brewery in the village and a bar open once twice weekly on market day. Cathar Castles to be seen, fantastic gorges, rivers, forest walks, stargazing and birdwatching etc

  Algo mais...

  Due to our organic principles we prefer if you only use pure shampoos, deodorants etc, no aerosols, no chemicals , no perfume, no aftershaves, and no tabacco users.
  We live remotely so there is no town life or a bright nightlife nearby. There is no public transport either. We have bicycles which can be borrowed and the village is not that far. There is a cafe nearby.
  Our village has a lovely evening market which is mainly organic products and hosts a wine merchant and a micro brewery bar, the beer is made in the village and the wine nearby. The bar opens once weekly and is a great place to meet people. Closest village to us has petrol pumps a small shop and lovely affordable bar/restaurant.

  Lots to do in the area… swimming, hiking, river sports, birdwatching etc etc
