It’s outrageous and ridiculous to maintain, I know, considering we’re suffering from what our prime minister Elisabeth Borne proclaims to be a historic drought crisis, but I still, with all my heart, dare persevere that at our Les Pierres beauty will never take a backseat.

We call our home a writer’s retreat. This makes us truly privileged, indeed.
Trying to make ones life sustainable is more than a personal choice and almost automatically leads to a multitude of decisions you have never even thought of before. On this website we share what works for us, or woefully no longer works, obviously without claiming the same for you.

Can we change the world through food? We believe we can and we support Slow Food, a global movement of local communities and activists across more than 160 countries. Together we defend cultural and biological diversity, promote food education and the transfer of traditional knowledge and skills.
