The Permacooltour is a collective adventure that brings together around ten members aged between 20 and 30 years old. “It’s an idea from Alexis Marcotte, whom I met while working alongside him in Les Jardins Respectueux, an association of educational gardens based in Cognac”, explains Kevin Simon. He discovered permaculture in Cambodia while making a documentary in Southeast Asia, May our joy remain.

Since 2019, Kevin Simon has cycled more than 5000 km mainly in the southern part of France. (KEVIN SIMON)

“Permaculture is not just about growing vegetables, emphasizes Kevin Simon. This also concerns housing, the economy, education…”

At the foot of the Vercors in the Drôme, Kevin Simon helped a market gardener finish the construction of the roof of his house in earth and straw. (KEVIN SIMON)

At the University of Alvéoles in the Drôme, Kevin developed a passion for the regeneration of landscapes and more specifically in the creation of forest gardens and hydrology. “We are taught to imagine the landscapes of tomorrow by taking into account the issues related to global warming.”

And to conclude: “The Permacooltour rolls on, with the wind in its sails, thirsty for learning, curious to see and support this new world that is being born in the territory.”
