  Description

  Hello,
  
  I'm Hugo, 27, epicurean and with a childhood dream that's gradually taking shape.
  The idea is to create a place where animals, a vegetable garden, fruit trees and a pond come together. A place that would allow us to have good homemade local produce all year round, and depend a little less on supermarkets.
  There's already been a lot of laughter, a lot of friends and a lot of work done. All that's left now is to put the finishing touches to the greenhouse.
  
  My idea in signing up as a host is to share new encounters/friendships and also to offer people the opportunity to stop off in a nice place for a few hours of DIY together, depending on what there is to do at the time.
  
  Maybe you'll get the chance to help birth a lamb or draw up some crazy plans for a future project I'm working on. Otherwise, I'm open to the idea of letting people spontaneously bring a few things to the place according to their hobby (e.g. a woodcarver who wants to design a stump, a stained-glass worker who wants to spice up the cabin, or simply someone with a creative flair).
  
  Of course, I offer meals and lodging, which can be arranged as I see fit, either in my shared apartment with nice people, or in my family's really comfortable house just a stone's throw from the orchard. You'll have your own room, and meals are shared.
  
  I can take the time to improvise myself as a guide or suggest activities if you don't know the area depending on the connection with the person and take you surfing or visit Mont Saint Michel 😉👌
  
  I speak several languages which facilitates the dialogue for you our friends foreign to France. 🇩🇪🇺🇸
  
  If this presentation has whetted your appetite I'm sure you won't be at the end of your surprises as the surrounding area is full of nuggets to go and discover.
  
  See you soon 🙂🤘
  Hugo

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  In my opinion, sharing this experience is an opportunity to meet a new person, share great moments like a boat trip or an outing to Mon Saint Michel, and discover nugget places reserved for locals.
  
  But of course it's also about learning from others, sharing and exchanging experiences and dreams.

  Help

  I'm mainly looking for help with handling things I can't easily do on my own. Activities at the orchard vary according to the season.
  
  However, I'm open to any skills or talents that people have to offer, and I'm not closed to taking on a suggestion if the person I'm hosting feels inspired and that I'm in phase with their proposal.
