About Me

Physicist, engineer, and entrepreneur.

Once I was used to be a management consultant, specialized in Lean. Then I founded a coworking space and finally settled in an ancient farm with my wife and my two kids, after a complete renovation. This place, we named Dans la Pampa, is to be dedicated to family and children.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can host travellers in tents (which we can provide) Good clothes and equipment required during winter...
We may offer accomodation in a comfortable room we're use to rent as a bed and breakfast, if it is not rented (most likely to happen in low season). We'll consider your projects and how it fits our owns.
We're always happy to spend time with travellers while sharing a meal for example, as far as we can preserve our family life.
