The Experience

Les Restanques d’Aurélien is a Mediterranean farm in transition. Travelers stay in my home and take part in daily life: pruning olive trees, land maintenance, and simple farm tasks. A grounded, human experience in nature, for people who enjoy meaningful exchanges and evolving places.

I would recommend this host if you aren't afraid of hard work and like an isolated environment! The farm is rural so you spend most of your time there but there's hikes for you to do and I enjoyed baking with all the amazing produce!! It's 45 mins from nice so visits are few but Aurelien makes an effort to show you around (we went to Monaco and menton). hours were respected often being less than 5 depending on the day. Aurelien is very kind and welcoming, super chatty and always up for a conversation, thank you :)

I had a really good time at the farm Mediterranée. I was looking to connect wiht nature and take some time to work on my Master thesis in a more scenic location while learning about organic farming at the same time and this is exactly the experience I had. Aurelien was a nice host and took us on some really beautiful hikes and to a beautiful beach near Nice. He explained how the living accomadations are still a work in progress, but he is currently working to make the space more cozy and private for his volunteers.

I stayed at the Farm for only 10 days and was doing different Kinds of tasks. We cooked every meal and helped wherever we were needed around the house, for example planting and fixing things. Our room was not completely „done“ yet, but it was fine and he also seemed motivated to improve everything! If you like working outside I would definetely recommend!

My stay at Aureliens farm was a really interesting experience. He is a very talkative and spontanious person, who likes to be flexible in all situations. Therefore, working on his farm was a mix of all kinds of task ragarding the surroundings. I learned a lot of new things! For example: we fixed an electric fence and planted tomatos! The accomandation was not great, I felt like I did not have a lot of privacy at the place I was sleeping. When we talked to him about it, he seemed eager to improve it though! But the farm itself is beautiful and his dog is very friendly and playful!

Fue mi primer experiencia haciendo un voluntariado, Aurelien me recibió del aeropuerto en Niza, me mostró la ciudad y me llevó hacia su granja, me hizo sentir bienvenida desde el primer minuto y todo se puede charlar, es una gran persona. El trabajo como tal no es lo más fácil pero ayuda a uno mismo a reflexionar sobre el valor del esfuerzo en la granja, si te gustan este tipo de voluntarios te lo recomiendo al 100%
