Thierry's place is a true gem! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home. Thierry himself is a fantastic host – kind, respectful, and an all-around wonderful person. Beyond his warm hospitality, he's a remarkably talented musician (especially his harmonica playing!) and a fantastic chef. The company was just as delightful, including the adorable Willow (a beautiful Swiss Shepherd 🐺) and the playful Janice (a sweet cat 😺). As a first-time volunteer, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The tasks were manageable, and Thierry generously thought me some valuable skills.

Thierry was like a really cool uncle to me. I recommend this experience to others highly, considering the work was varied and interesting but not too difficult, the hours are not too long, he speaks english well, and Thierry is a really good cook. Before volunteers apply, they should know Thierry usually accepts men because the work can be difficult and dangerous for women. We didn't always see eye-to-eye, but I still enjoyed our conversations and I think Thierry is kind and charitable as long as you're not overly sensitive to his sharp, enthusiastic personality)

Terry, the host, is a kind, thoughtful, and welcoming person. As a French host, he brings a touch of charm and authenticity to the experience, and his cooking is very nice, he cooked some local recepist that taste amazing!! One of the highlights of the stay was having a lovely private room. The real stars of the household, though, are Willow, the incredibly friendly dog, who is always ready for cuddles and companionship, and the cat, who adds a playful and sweet energy.Terry is respectful of the agreed-upon schedule and ensures that you have plenty of time to enjoy your surroundings.

Thierry's place is quite large and beautiful, and the house is spacious. Overall, the location is good. Regarding the work, the host respects the proposed schedule, but there wasn't much work when I was there, so the working hours were shorter. Unfortunately, the experience wasn't good for me. Thierry is not a patient person; he tries to explain, but his English is not very good. He speaks in fragments, doesn't form proper sentences, and often uses the wrong words, which doesn't make sense. The host calls you 'crazy' when you do something you didn't understand. He can't stay calm, so the exper
