covertcabin
- secluded woodsman's cabin, situated on the

woodland provides the perfect antidote to the stresses of busy,
modern-day life. Providing comfortable
accommodation for two, it has the look and feel of a pioneer's
cabin whilst still providing today's necessary comforts. The cabin is 'off-grid', so lighting is provided by a
combination of candles, oil lamps, solar and wind-up lights. It has a fully equipped kitchen with gas cooker and
fridge, and is kept toasty warm in winter by the wood burning
stove, which also heats the water for the outside shower/wc.
la
brande - combines a French holiday plus a
course that provides you with the opportunity to achieve real
practical and environmental skills (that can be honed over
a lifetime) and still leave time for you to explore and enjoy
the surrounding countryside and wildlife.
The
holiday courses are of one week duration - arrivals are on a
Sunday afternoon and departures on Saturday morning. They are made up of individual two-day units and are
based on the holistic design principles of PERMACULTURE which
embraces the philosophy of co-operation with nature and caring
for the earth and its people. We offer
a wide variety of holiday choices throughout the year which
contributes positively to the surroundings, provides a venue
that minimizes the negative effects of tourism and supports the
local community.

Paulianne:
the farm - Paulianne is an 89 hectare organic
farm bordering the River Drôme in the Pre-Alps of SE France.
The farmhouse itself stands on a Roman site that was dedicated
to Mercury, with connections going back to the pre-Roman Andarta
bear worshipping tradition. The old Roman road from Lyon to
Milan runs through the farm and past the house. It is now a
simple farm track from one field to another, having fallen into
disuse when half a mountain - the Pic de Luc - fell into the
valley in 1442, blocking the route and creating a 15km long lake
that submerged the old route for nearly 300 years. There is an
ongoing dispute among historians as to whether Hannibal led his
elephants and an army of 30,000 soldiers to Italy via the valley
of the Drôme or the Isere.
le
gites du paquetayre
- These two gîtes (available all year) are on an organic farm

its lonely "pog".
