80s charm: the rooms, the restaurant, but also the plumbing, electricity, doors and windows!
Since then, we have undertaken a beautiful challenge: to renovate this place, give it back life and develop new activities, all while welcoming our visitors. And for that, we need motivated and curious people to participate in the adventure! 🙌
💡 An experience tailored to your wishes and your talents!
At Nan Maître, we believe that everyone has something to contribute!
Do you like tinkering? 🔧 We can teach you new techniques.
Are you creative? 🎭 We can accompany you in realizing your ideas and in organizing activities.
Would you simply like to discover, learn and lend a hand? 🤝 You are also welcome!
The program is flexible and depends on your skills, your desires and the needs of the place. We can prepare your stay together in advance or organize the activities once on site.
