we have moved from the Deux-sï¿½vres in the poitou charente to the 87 limousin region,up sizing in hectares, we have always lived a simple life ,this time we hope to share our patch with other familys , artisans and farming projects as we have bought the farm as an S.C.I. which means that like minded people can buy in shares and live as a self- sufficient community We have a working wood workshop,barns,communal house, garden,fruit trees,own water, bread oven, 4 hectares of mature woods, 17 hectares of pasture land, enough to get lost in, and all surrounding the farmhouse and barns+ permission to build eco-friendly houses on the site(what! no it's not for hoildays it's for residents ) this could be of interest to people wanting to make the move to france and be able to really settle into a community. We are all French, except me(tho' bi-lingual as I have lived in France for all my adult life).If this could interest you, we are looking for families, or couples seeking a DS life,their feet firmly on the ground, willing to exchange skills,and become part of living/working project.

Hello and welcome - we moved to Calvados in August and our plan is to create to 2 eco-gites for holiday cottages. We will also convert an old farmhouse into our own eco-house. I am very jealous of your ability to speak French - I am learning as fast as I can but it is not fast enough for my liking Bon courage and keep us posted with your progress

Don't know how I missed this before! Your setup sounds wonderful!! We're not far from you, but over the border in the Corrï¿½ze, just off junction 44 of the A20. Hope you find enough others to join your commune to make it worthwhile
