Help renovate an old house for artists on the outskirts of Paris
The experience
We live in a former 18th-century inn in Greater Paris, which we want to turn into an artists' home. The place needs a lot of work, we're doing an eco-renovation, trying to restore its charm! (Work in progress)
Most of us are in film industry or music, and we live here (usually 2 to 5 ppl). We're sort of between city and country as our valley, not quite urban, not quite rural, sits somewhere along that shifting line.
Direct metro to center Paris!

Program Details
We often need help with small jobs, often painting, whitewashing, simple carpentry, or a bit of masonry, or gardening. No skills required; we do it together anyway. Right now, we have a stone wall to point with lime. As a community we are often doing little events, sometimes board games, treks in the region, etc etc ! Be welcome in our world !
Activities & Shift
We have a room for the guest who will be staying there. The room has a lock, and there is access to the kitchen, bathroom, garden, etc. For additional people we can offer arrangements in other spaces.
Rules
We are a 5-minute walk from the metro station, direct to Paris center (35 minutes). Transport operating at night as well.
You can use the kitchen to cook for yourself.
Don't hesitate to contact us with any questions!
