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 is really nice and takes good care of volunteers. Her place is really pretty and she makes really good food. The working hours were respected. The tasks were easy to do but a little tiring sometimes because some of them requiere physical work. I was lucky to spend some days with another volunteer, otherwise it might get a little lonely as the house is in the middle of the country and you need a car to get to towns nearby. Jane took me on a day trip to see really pretty villages.

I had a lovely time with Jane. My daily tasks ranged from animal care, gardening, and building to painting walls, depending on what's needed and what the weather was like. It's important that you're alright with working solo, because apart from the heavy tasks that you need more hands for, you'll be on your own with the tasks Jane lays out for you.
I slept in my campervan on her property, but there are two sleeping spaces inside the house for guests. One upstairs in a nook near the bathroom and the other in the living room.
Meals were all prepared by Jane, she's a great cook!

I had the loveliest time with Jane, she made me feel extremely welcomed and comfortable in her beautiful house! The work was really enjoyable and rewarding, and we managed to build a wood shelter. Jane took me on some lovely days out too, we visited local villages and went on some lovely walks and she also took me to some cool second hand shops as she heard I liked vintage and second hand shopping. The food that she cooked was also delicious! Overall, a very good experience and would definitely go again! Thank you Jane ❤️

Since the first moment my experience with Jane was awesome 🤩
We went together to many villages near La Capelle-Balaguier, we cycled with her bikes and we had picnics in amazing places. Every meal was delicious. We watched movies together and Jane helped me a lot to improve my English.
The job was to help her building useful places for her home. I’m not a builder but she taught and we built together. Darío and Beth, the other volunteers, were really nice too.

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I loved it! Jane is such a nice person and she will make you feel as home. Her food is amazing and she’s always looking for your safety and for you feeling comfortable. The work was nice, but I’m sad we could not finish it. It’s not to tiring neither too heavy, and if you’re feeling bad or tired, Jane will help you. And the best team for Jane are Tutsie, her dog, and Moon, her cat. I would definitely recommend these experience to help Jane finish her house!
