Van Gogh friend s House in Arles

Hi volunteer!
My name is Kim and I am looking for some help to maintain my house and shop in the center of Arles: that will include housekeeping, house cleaning, houserepairs, painting, gardening.
I am happy to provide you with a single bed or a double bed in a mezzanine room which will be shared on summer in a indépendant appartement.

I would really appreciate if you stayed a minimum of 2-3 weeks, in order to build more lifelong friendship… and a more free schedule ;)

Arles, is known to be the little Roma of France other than being immersed in its Camargue naturel Reserve.
After all, t was also Van Gogh's favorite place to stay and paint for a reason…..

Between mountains and beaches you will be able to see many archéologic Roman sites, gothic churches, art galeries, museums and great cities like les Beaux de Provence, Saint Rémy de Provence, Pont du Gard, Avignon, Nimes, Orange, Montpellier, Marseille ..
Don't miss the provençal gastronomy, the bull's shows and the flamingos ;)
All Arles is perfectly walkable, also many buses or train are provided to see the mountains or enjoy the beaches..

I am most of the time alone to care of the house and the shop. I love to share about our culture or experiences, languages and nice time together in this beautiful part of France. Please don’t arrive too late or at night, last time would be 7pm.

Kim is very nice and kind :)The tasks are easy and fun and not too many hours. You learn a lot about repairing things at your own!

I loved my time here in Arles! The town is beautiful and full of life, and Kim was the kindest and coolest host I could ask for: sweet, fun and caring, always ready to help with my needs. The work was never too tiring or hard and the working hours were flexible. I loved having the opportunity to be a part of her project to open an art gallery and to also learn new skills, like painting, cleaning and fixing things. I definitely recommend Kim to everyone who wants to have a useful working experience while also being independent and free to explore. I can't wait to come back, I'll miss you Kim!

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and it was lovely staying with Kim and being able to immerse myself into the French culture. She was very helpful with recommendations where to go and do in her area which helped me to plan and go see many places and explore the beautiful town of Arles! The amount of work was just right and she was very happy to change plans to suit me too! I felt very welcome and at home during my whole stay and I’d love to come back! Don’t hesitate to help Kim as she is the kindest and sweetest person and I will miss chatting to her!

I definitely recommend this experience! Kim was very sweet throughout my stay. The work may be tiring sometimes (especially if you go during summer, because of the heat) but you can always ask Kim for a break. Arles is a wonderful city, I never got bored of taking a walk around old town. There are a lot of restaurants and bars (it is a bit more expensive in the old town, but once or twice it's totally fine). The public transport to nearby cities or the sea is great and cheap, so you can do all kinds of day trips too (Kim will help you figure it out, and with what you can do or see).
