A stifling daily routine
The days were all the same, like a never-ending frantic race. Work, family, obligations. I felt like I was drifting away from the person I dreamed of being.

The adventure begins
Leaving everything behind and rebuilding was not easy (financially or administratively). But we had found our place. Every day, between Patrick's work and my training courses, we build this dream with our own hands.

A transformed life
After 10 years of perseverance, our dream has become reality. Today, I'm proud of what we've built: a havre of peace for those seeking simplicity and disconnection.


Our dream of freedom
Nearly 20 years ago, Patrick and I dreamt of a place where we could breathe and live freely, far from the constraints of routine. An authentic place that felt like home to us.

A twist of fate
One day, my father found an old farmhouse for sale in the Vendée. When we visited this place, we knew our lives were going to change.

Overcoming challenges
With no running water, juggling my job and three young children, every day was a challenge. But the desire to succeed together gave us the strength to carry on.
