    Description

    Hello! We are Paul & Juliette & Lou!

    We are a french couple, 37 years old (Paul) and 33 (Juliette), with our son of 2 years old (Lou).

    We live in a small comunity and share an old renovated farm with a couple of friends (Gab&Marie) and their kids (6, 3 and 2 years old).
    We live on a small montain surended by clifs and sheeps, a great garden and a lot of renovation works to do!
    We plan to enlarge our community with an other family in the coming years after rearranging the houses, still some projects to do!

    We are basically involved in sustainable jobs (Ju & Paul : yoga teacher+ sustainable building engineer // Gab & Marie : organic farmer + teacher, ) and try to make our life in this way,

    We (Paul&Ju) 've been travelling in 2015 around the world for a year, and been doing 5 workaways at these times, a lot of good feelings and experiences!

    So! we want to come back in this comunity and this time greet travelers... Also a way of sharing this experience with our cohabitants!

    About the nature over here: we are at the beginning of the French Alps, close to the Viarona (bicycle road along the Rhone River), many lakes, many forests... A good spot to discover the region :)
