Detalhes
We are a family living in the Corsican mountains, building our ecological home step by step. We welcome Worldpackers who want to take part in a real-life eco project, learn by doing, and share daily life with us.
Most of the help is currently focused on the house construction: timber frame elements, roof preparation, straw bale infill and GREB natural building. Beginners are welcome — everything is explained and done together. Help can also include daily life support around the house and occasional help with our kids.
In return, we offer a simple, grounded lifestyle, shared meals, knowledge sharing, nature, flexibility and a warm family atmosphere.

Main activities may include:
>Eco construction (woodwork, straw bales, GREB, site organization)
