Le Domaine de la Planche is an eco-centre comprising a restored traditional Forez farmhouse (fully renovated in 2009), 10 hectares of plains and forests, permaculture gardens, and a permanent eco-volunteer residence. The Domaine has strong expertise in hosting and facilitating camps, stays and gatherings in the following areas: creative food and wild cooking, cooperative pedagogy, permaculture and gardening, self-building and natural materials crafts, and intercultural exchange. It serves as a resource for education and citizenship: food creativity and nutrition, dialogue and civic engagement, collective experiences and cooperation, immersion in and understanding of the natural and social environment.
