Eco-Living in France: work, stay, and connect in a sustainable community
If you’re looking for an eco-travel experience in France, Au 7 en Chemin offers a meaningful way to explore the Drôme region while contributing to a sustainable community. Nestled near Romans-sur-Isère and the Vercors Mountains, this shared habitat welcomes travelers in camper vans to exchange their skills for a place to stay.
The deal is simple: help out for 10-12 hours per week with small construction, gardening, and renovation projects, and in return, you get access to basic amenities, enriching human connections, and time to explore the beautiful surroundings. Tasks range from building garden structures and organizing common spaces to permaculture projects – perfect for those who love hands-on work and eco-friendly initiatives.
A nice opportunity to experience community living, share meals, and learn new skills while being immersed in a sustainable lifestyle. If you’re a solo traveler, a couple, or even a family, Au 7 en Chemin welcomes you with open arms.
Who is it for?
This opportunity is perfect for:
- Nature lovers and DIY enthusiasts
- Digital nomads looking for grounding
- Families seeking slower, intentional travel
- Anyone interested in community living and eco-building
“Au sept en Chemin” is a living project, and your contribution becomes part of its evolution.
