Permaculture is our life philosophy.

At Moulin Scalagrand, we aim to restore our connection with nature — to live in harmony once again and build a truly sustainable existence on Earth. Permaculture offers a clear path toward this vision.

After years of hands-on experience and building her own permaculture paradise, Frédérique is now inspiring others to create their own paradise. Helping to restore balance and support the natural ecosystem.

Join our ecological retreats, rooted in the principles of permaculture, where we explore living in alignment with the land and ourselves.

    Emmanuelle Joaquin & Corentin

  • "Lieve Fred, wat een ervaring, weer helemaal zoals vroeger maar ook zoals nooit tevoren. Twee daagjes maar om nooit te vergeten. De familie was bij elkaar en kennis maken met een nieuwe manier van leven: eentje die geaard voelt, die voelt zoals zich hoort te voelen. Dank-je-wel! En dit was zeker niet de laatste keer. Tot snel!"

    Jet & Willem

  • "Lieve Frederique, Wij kwamen hier bij jou om te ervaren wat la vie en campagne betekent. We wilden de plek beleven en verkennen, niet meer en niet minder. Maar je gaf ons zoveel meer. Je vertrouwen, vriendschap, dat fantastische eten en passant ook een venijnig inkijkje in onszelf. Ik voel zoveel dankbaarheid. En ook bewondering. Wij kunnen nu weer verder, of eigenlijk terug naar ons werk, maar we nemen een stukje van jou mee. Die moet om het anders te kunnen doen, op onze eigen manier anders. Groet vanuit het hart gelouterd."

    Monique

  • « Chère Frédérique, nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour et la découverte de votre cuisine est un dépaysement. Votre gentillesse et votre générosité sont exemplaires.
