### I’d like to work there

Shops and artisan workshops, a tavern and an inn to bring to life; farms, the mill and the woodcutters’ hut to take over; towers for care, crafts and activities.

### I’d like to stay there

A day’s visit or a few nights at the inn: the market, meals at the tavern, evening gatherings.

Crossing the threshold

## Leave your century in the parking lot

1. Leave your devices — The car stays in the parking lot, on the far side of the forest; phones and screens stay safely in the Threshold House cloakroom.
2. Change your clothes — The wardrobe lends period clothing, in linen and wool. Or bring your own, if they suit the period.
3. Walk in — Past the gateway, a trail crosses the forest, then the fields, and goes over the stream to the village gate. Beyond it, public life goes on with no visible technology.

[Take the walking tour from the bridge](https://castelroc.com/en/tour)

Inside private homes, the place of technology is still to be defined with future residents: no rule has been set to date.

Daily life

## Finding time again

Days shaped by handwork, the market, shared meals and evenings by the fire.

- ![In the forge, the blacksmith shows the anvil to a young apprentice](https://castelroc.com/images/vie-metiers.webp) — The trades — The forge, woodworking, pottery, weaving: skills that are practised and passed on.
- ![The market square: the well, the stalls, the baker outside his shop and children running on the cobblestones](https://castelroc.com/images/vie-marche.webp) — The market — Around the well and the great linden tree, the stalls of growers and craftspeople.
- ![A long table at the tavern: villagers on wooden benches, by the fireplace](https://castelroc.com/images/vie-repas.webp) — The meals — At the tavern or the inn, long tables where people take their time.
- ![An evening by the fire: a grandfather tells a story to two children](https://castelroc.com/images/vie-veillees.webp) — The evenings — The fire in the hearth, the spinning wheel, the stories: evenings are spent together.

Beyond the walls

## A countryside that keeps the village alive

- The farms — A sheepfold, a dairy farm and a great barn, with their pastures, hens and haystacks.
- The fields and the mill — Wheat, barley, oats, vegetables and hay meadows in long strips, and a windmill in the middle of the fields.
- The forest and the woodcutters — At the edge of the woods, the log cabin, stacks of firewood and the charcoal burner’s mound.
