The experience


We are Florent and Astree, a French couple living in the Ardèche Mountains with our baby girl Luna, born in november 2024.
We have been renovating an old farm since november 2020, still have some work to do on it. We also pick and transform apples and sweet chestnuts from our land (end of september to mid November).

In summer time (JUNE-JULY-AUGUST) we take care of a natural camping site at the river, with a little restaurant
