Our house, made of stone, was built in 1853. It is surrounded by many ornamental dry gardens, that we created from A to Z.
It is located in a hilly landscape alternating between forest and scrubland.
Around the house, you will find many paths for beautiful walks in nature.
We have a « terrain de pétanque », where you can play or we can play together.
The village in which we live is located 10 kms away from Uzès, the closest main town, which is really beautiful, with old buildings made of stone, it’s Duché (château) from the XIth century. Following this link, you will see more about Uzès : https://www.uzes-pontdugard.com/la-destination/les-incontournables/uzes-cite-toscane/
The region itself is magnificent with many beautiful and interesting places to visit, among which the Pont du Gard.
From our village, Belvezet, you will need to go to Uzès to find buses that can take you to different places around.
To go to Uzès from Belvezet, there is a system of carpool. We also sometimes go to Uzès and could take you there.
We are a couple, restoring an old house. We also do a lot of gardening, creating dry ornamental gardens all around the house. We do all the work by ourselves. We know some techniques and also learn according to what we need. We recently created a vegetable garden and are therefore able to eat our own vegetables during summer and beginning of autumn. Due to last minute volunteer cancellations, we are opening our calendar from June 8th to 25th. We really need reliable and responsible volunteers for this period. All other dates are full (if other volunteers don't cancel their stay with us). If you would like to join us, we will be very happy to welcome you.

Clémentine and Manuel are amazing people above all. They are thoughtful as to your needs and wants and make sure you feel completely comfortable. They are interesting and have good conversations and genuinely care. The work is interesting and hands on and you can be a good contribution to the team. There are a number of cool things to do around and if you are without a car (which i was) they make sure to offer to drive you interesting places. Truly a home away from home. This was an incredible experience i will always remember. Thankyou for everything. Merci et à la prochaine fois🫶

This was my first world packer experience and if all world packers is like this then it won’t be my last. Clémentine and Manuel were fantastic hosts and that’s an understatement. The project is very interesting with tasks involving gardening and construction which are very satisfying to complete and admire your work. The work itself wasn’t easy as you are doing manual labour but it is only 5 hours of work a day and you get a lot in return. The food which we got was delicious and there was always cheese and dessert after. This experience was truly amazing and I will be back very soon!!!

Clémentine and Manuel were excellent hosts. They are lovely people and care greatly about what they do. I really enjoyed the work - we were assisting with repairing an old stone wall, making cement, helping with building a small pool and plastering a wall. The food was very good too, I’m not normally vegetarian but I loved what we ate when we were there. There was a small bar down the road from the house, which was nice to sit in during the afternoons we had off. I will definitely be back to help out again and visit.

This was my first Worldpacker experience and it was absolutely amazing! I didn't want to leave when my time was done and would plan on coming back to see how Clémentine and Manuel's project evolves. They were so welcoming as hosts and provided amazing food and conversations. It's definitely living in a construction zone which is part of the experience. I overlapped with other Worldpackers at the same time so it was great to also meet other people from around the world. You can tell the amount of thought that has gone into this project and the pride in doing the work themselves.

Clementine and Manuel were such nice people and hosts. As a first time doing Worldpackers it was a great experience. The work was straight forward, we had really nice meals! Breakfast and dinner were my favourite. All of the meals were followed by cheese and bread and desert so we’re very well fed! Clementine and Manuel were so nice that they took us out on trips to a lovely river to swim and flea markets in the local area! Definitely would recommend if you want to chill out from travelling, reconnect with yourself and learn about some of the local culture in Occitanie region!
