  Descrição

  We are a newish permacuture project situated in the south west of France. When we arrived at our property we had big plans! It turn's out we might need a little help to realise these dreams. The aim of our place is to provide a safe space for flora and fauna to flourish. We have approx 6 acres of land that is made of of some beautiful big trees and lots of space we are leaving to look after itself. We are interested in forest gardens, wild flower meadows and no-dig vegetable and flower production.
  We have a selection of different animals which we have rescued and come across in our time here, including horses and rabbits, dogs and cats and goats etc.
  We are creative people, musicians, computer people, nature enthusiasts, keen cooks and try to live lightly, reducing our waste with a veggie diet.
  I think our project here aims to cultivate a holistic system in which we can all thrive and that our children can learn valuable skills and ways of thinking that they can take forward into their adult lives.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  I think that travellers could come and stay in comfortable accommodation and be welcomed into a family setting in which they could put their skills to good use. They might even learn new skills. Our family speak both French and English so there is a chance to practice both languages. Travellers could also benefit from the beautiful walks in the area and also trips into the Pyrenees mountains which are only an hour away. Music is also a big part of our family life so there are opportunities to brush up on your skills. There is an abundance of local food and drink to be samples and to use for your creative cooking endeavours!

  Algo mais...

  Public transport from our village is limited, however once you are in the town (10km away) there is a bus service. Busses go to Tarbes and Auch where there are train-stations. The city of Toulouse is 90 minutes away. The mountains are an hour away. There are plenty of local lakes and forests to walk and enjoy the natural diversity of the area.
  We are a busy family with a full life. Ideally we would like people to be happy to spend time with children and muck in and get involved with animals and garden even if it gets a little crazy, which it sometimes does! We are keen to learn from people as well as help people to learn!
