Hello ! We are Sylvain and Vincent (and our dogs Oona & Oasis and our cat Anggun).
We have a large guest house located in a nice little village at the edge of a forest, we are in Touraine, in the heart of the Loire Valley, a French cultural region rich in history and gastronomy.
The region is very touristic and offers many activities. A typical French way of life is offered to you.
We are a bit isolated in the forest but it promises beautiful walks in the middle of nature. Ideal for those who love contemplation and calm. We are five minutes from the village by bike and ten minutes by car from the nearest town, Chinon.
We are three quarters of an hour's drive from the city of Tours, which is only one hour from Paris by TGV.
I am looking for volunteers to help me with my daily chores in a guest house, from breakfast to dinner at night. The job consists of assisting me (two people is more fun and faster) in the maintenance of the house and the rooms for a few hours a day. The idea is to free up time to enjoy life and sightseeing. The work is a bit repetitive but it is not complicated and is done in a pleasant environment. I am quite friendly and sociable, my house is always wide open. I am said to be a passionate and talkative person. I have to welcome the volunteers as family members and offer them the same attention as my guests. I would like to show them my favorite castles, restaurants and places in the Loire Valley.

Mon séjour au Domaine de la Julanvillerie a été une excellente première expérience de volontariat. Les tâches étaient simples et peu exigeantes, Vincent était clair sur la façon dont je pouvais aider dans les chambres et le gîte. Au début, la communication était un peu difficile, mais j'ai beaucoup appris sur la culture française et j'ai eu l'opportunité de passer du temps avec Vincent et Sylvain qui m'ont aidé à améliorer mon français tout en me faisant découvrir leur culture. La propriété est incroyable, et Oona et Osasis sont les vrais patrons de l'endroit. Merci pour leur hospitalité!

Vincent and Sylvain are warm and generous hosts. They are enthusiastic about sharing their culture and always offered to include me in their plans to meet with locals and see more of the area. On bike, it is very easy to get around, and Vincent has all the best routes to avoid cars and, importantly, get the best view of the stunning Loire! The Juranvillerie, or “Home” as anyone staying there will quickly call it, is a stunning environment with lots of space to explore, go for walks, take a dip in the pool, or just sit and soak up the sun! The work is not difficult so afternoons are always off

Zein is a reliable and good listener.
He was a great help to us during his stay at the house, both in the upkeep of the rooms and in the preparation of table d'hôtes meals.
It was an enriching encounter and a good time spent together. Thank you Zein for these 3 weeks spent together 🙂

Great place, with fun people, and a beautiful experience. I wanna thank Vincent and Sylvan for showing me around and always making me part of their (super fun) plans. Felt almost immediately at ease once there. They are always very respectful. The place is great, in the middle of nature, and there is a small pond-like swimming pool where you can refresh yourself when it's hot outside. Super clean place, with a private room for yourself. I'll be back in the future for another glass of wine with the hosts and to play around with the 2 doggies, Oona and Oasis (the actual owners of the place) <3

This was my first experience with worldpackers and it was exactly what I needed!
The location is peaceful and a beautiful place, where you can always hear the birds sing.
The work in itself is very well explained by Vincent. The help that I gave was mainly in 2 things: preparing the breakfast and preparing the rooms (making beds, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning the dust and vacuuming). This was all done in the morning, leaving me with free afternoons! I had access to bikes to explore around and the nearest castle/coffee place/grocery store was fine by foot.
To sum it up: it was worth it! :)

La Juranvillerie a été ma première expérience avec WorldPackers et je suis satisfaite. Vincent et Sylvain sont très gentils, leurs chiens et leur chat sont trop mignons, la maison est super jolie, la chambre confortable et le travail n'est pas épuisant. En général, j'ai travaillé plus le matin et après je suis restée plus ou moin disponible l'après-midi, sauf quand j'avais besoin de travailler dans mon travail en ligne. C'est un lieu un peu isolé, mais si vous aimez la nature, la tranquillité et faire du vélo, ça sera un bon match. Pour moi, ça n'est pas un problème..
Merci Vincent et Sylvain

Hello. Patricia a été très efficace et utile au travail malgré une certaine nonchalance à la fois toute brésilienne et charmante ! Elle parle très bien le français ce qui nous a permis d'avoir des échanges et débats passionnants sur nos différentes cultures.
Je recommande bien sûr Patricia pour de nouvelles aventures.
