Le Saint Jardin
Our Écolieu is a testing ground for recycled materials, mainly wood, stone and metal. We will show how to make things beautiful and do a lot with very little:))
We are forming a joyful and dynamic community where all ages are represented:
Sophia, 22 years old, Nuwanda 42, Fabrizio 53, Loïc, 63 and me, Anne, 67 years old.
The house is very large and we are happy to welcome 2 to 3 Worldpackers into our extended family

About the experience in: St Rémy les chevreuse, France
Germany
I believe you can definitely learn quite a bit here and develop a unique personality. However, in my opinion the experience isn’t for everyone. If you have a lot of social energy and no problem adapting to anything you do, you can have a good time here. Anne certainly has a lot of life wisdom to share, but I personally felt somewhat overwhelmed by it. And perhaps one more interesting bit of info: private rooms exist, though not exclusively. If that matters to you, it’s best to check in advance whether one is available.

The community is a land of opportunity and genuine connection - the second you step onto the property you are swept into a world where you can nurture your relationship to the earth (and yourself) through the work and the soul-warming meals around the dinner table with interesting characters that are open to any and all strangeness that you may bring to offer! i learned so much from anne and everyone that i was privileged enough to encounter during my stay, and will forever be grateful for the generosity that was extended to me!

My stay at the community was enjoyable. The majority of my stay was with Nuwanda and Loïc. They were very welcoming and easygoing. I enjoyed my task in weeding and Mosaic. I had healthy and filling meals, and was lucky to have my own small and cozy room located outside. I spent a couple of days with Anne after her return from Sardinia, she is a such a kind and energetic person with a strong personality. There is much to learn from her passion for life and artistic sense, she also has a unique perspective on sustainability. Communication could have been better, but overall it was enjoyable

I had a really nice and peaceful time staying in St Rémy. I stayed two weeks, working both in the garden and on the mosaic and the work felt creative and not too tiring. I enjoyed my time with the rest of the community and I had the chance to meet Anne briefly towards the end of my stay. The food was yummy with ingredients both fresh from the garden and from the supermarket surplus food, while the place itself is beautiful, and a great area to explore.

I had the most amazing time here, i adored how we all ate together at the table talking, sharing stories. the working hours are quite flexible so you'll have plenty of time to explore the area too! i truly needed this time in such a green, lovely environment. the meals were super delicious though just a heads up to those who don't like expired food, sometimes you could come across it, which i personally didn't mind:) i will forever cherish this place and the connections i made!!
