    Description

    This is a self-managed queer house in creation, located in the Périgord Limousin natural park, where forests, ponds, rivers, springs and wild animals abound. We invite you to experience a peasant life, simple and creative. Here we garden, we tinker, we invent. We pick and cook the wild plants that surround us. The house is located in a village and there is a large detached land where we cultivate and where we can camp. In the house, there is a dormitory, a large kitchen and a library. It's a bit of a home school where we learn to deconstruct our habits; We hope to help people take the step towards rurality and if they like to join our collective.
    It should be noted that currently there is only one permanent person. The collective is to be created. The house and the land should pass in the more or less long term in the hands of an association. We are looking for people interested in being part of it.

    We are looking for interested people to be part of it.

    No skills required, only good will !

    Il s'agit d'une maison queer auto-gérée en création, située dans le parc naturel du Périgord Limousin, là où abondent forêts, étangs, rivières, sources et animaux sauvages. Nous vous invitons à expérimenter une vie paysanne, simple et créative. Ici nous jardinons, nous bricolons, nous inventons.
    Nous cueillons et cuisinons les plantes sauvages qui nous entourent.
    La maison se situe dans un village et il y a un grand terrain non attenant où l'on cultive et où l'on peut camper.
    Dans la maison, il y a un dortoir, une grande cuisine et une biblothèque.
    C'est un peu une maison école où on apprend à déconstruire nos habitudes;
    Nous espérons aider les personnes à sauter le pas vers la ruralié et si affinité rejoindre notre collectif.
    Précisons qu'actuellement il y a une seule personne permanente. Le collectif est à créer.
    La maison et le terrain devrait passer à plus ou moins long terme dans les mains d'une association. Nous cherchons des personnes intéressées pour en faire partie.

    Aucune compétance demandée, seulement de la bonne volonté héhé.
