dag 22-23-24: rust-repos Project visits

Three days of 'platte rust' - repos complet - full rest 

As announced earlier our first mayor stop is Lablachère to visit, with my long time mentor and friend, Pol Jansegers, some eco friendly projects. Stephane & Mélaine, Pol's son and girlfriend, are our guides. Photos will tell more than words:

First, Terre et Humanisme an initiative from Pierre Rabhi as a demonstration project on agro-ecologie or a science to sustainably farm and feed the community, even in arid circumstances as we can witness here in Ardèche-Cévennes. Biodiversity, respect of natural balances and rediscovery of edible plants are central to the project.

Second, Ecole Buissonnière an alternative educational project for young children with difficulties to prosper in regular schools. Details on this initiative on the webpage and please note that this family initiative is in need of financial support! https://www.ecolebuissonniere07.org  "Le lieu accueillera des ateliers pour enfants, certains porteurs de handicaps (Gilles de la Tourette, Dysphasie, Précocité) en état de souffrance depuis plusieurs années et pour lesquels une scolarité classique est inenvisageable, ainsi que d’autres enfants sans particularité ceci favorisant mixité, entraide, tolérance et ouverture à l’autre."

and tomorrow back on the bike for a serious climb, 35 out of 65 are UP!
