I live in a beautiful part of France. It is very rural but there are some great towns 15km away. I have a large, peaceful garden where there is so much to learn, if you want to. Although, not in full production, I love growing my own food and cooking it. Low light pollution means that laying in the field star gazing, is a joy and the walks here, from my doorstep, are just stunning. There are many festivals here in the summer that are truly magical and you may wake up to see golden orioles and hoopoes in the woods, from your window.

I have a vast knowledge of gardening and cooking and I would very much love to share that. I have been in France for many years, so your stay here should be safe. I am quite flexible, with regards to the work here but I would really appreciate your help. It has been a struggle to get what is needed done and my home has so much to potential. I am very easy going and calm and although I am here to accommodate and support you, I really appreciate that this is also your vacation. I have a car and I can take you to local beauty spots, on your days off. As you can see, I am very new here but I am a very fast learner and I promise to look after you very well.

Jane was so much fun to get to know and we will miss her dearly! She was very accommodating and a pleasure to spend time with :) Her dog tootsie is sweet as well.
She lives in a beautiful area with tons of trails and areas to explore on foot and by bike.
Jane is a lovely cook and you will always have a full belly!

As my girlfriend already wrote, this was our first WP experience and it was great!
Jane is a great host who supplied us with tasty food. We also played some games in the evenings and had a bonfire in the garden for Halloween. There are planty of different things to do for every type of person I would say, as long as you got a hands on mentality and are able to work independently.
As long as you are okay with a little less comfort and privacy, I highly recommend this place to you. For us it became instantly a home away from home.

This was our first volunteering and we could not have asked for a better one!

Jane is living on a lovely old property in the French countryside with her dog, cat and chickens. It comes with all the tasks of an old house and big garden. We could choose from many diverse tasks and were absolutely free in when and how to work. Jane supplied us with plenty of good food and we had a good time together in the evenings.

If you are okay with a little less privacy and comfort and are willing to work independently, this is a great place for you.

I had an amazing time with Jane! Jane was an excellent host. She has a great sense of humor, and is very knowledgeable about holistic wellness and sustainable practices. She's also an excellent cook, and is mostly self-sufficient with the vegetables and eggs from the farm!

The work was as expected, and hours were clearly defined. I mostly helped by clearing the garden beds, and I had lots of free time to read, work, and explore the nearby walking trails. On days off, Jane took me to visit nearby villages. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful stay!

Jane is an incredible host. She made me feel so welcome in her home and did everything possible to ensure that I was comfortable. Tasks and working hours were agreed upon at the start and allowed for lots of free time to explore the local area. Jane lives in a little slice of French paradise :)
