Description
We are a dutch spanish couple with two children aged 24 and 30 who've lived in different countries that's why we have an international background and speak english, french, spanish, portuguese and dutch.
We fell in love with Brittany after several visits to this region with our chidren since 2016.
While considering options to stay longer periods here, we found this old typical Brittany's style renovated farms and barns on 4 ha of fields, a parcel of forest and a pond surrounded by diary farmers and farming fields.
We were seduced at first sight by this magical and mythical Forest of Broceliande and the Breton/Celtic culture.
In our place, we are gradually promoting cultural, artistic and nature related activities with the help of visitors, friends, neighbours and local people.
This spring we started cultivating blueberries in our forest.
Our wish in the near future is to construct ecological different shacks and hobbit like lodges.
We 've hosted our first Celtic Festival in august 2021 with the participation of local musicians, Fine Art exhibitions and creative craftsmen.
We feel blessed living amidst landscape, an amazing sky full of stars sometimes in the summer, the chirping sounds of birds, the presence of wild animals as deereds, and others whose footsteps are only perceptible.

Help
In October there are a variety of tasks to do in the gardens and in the forests like collecting walnuts and chessnuts, gathering branches in the forest to light the wood fires. Use the leaf blower to collect leaves from our many oak trees and walnut tree.
This summer we need help with repairing, sanding and repainting wooden shacks and barriers. We also need someone to help us build two dry toilets and an additional shack next to a solar shower.
