Wapi felt like home <3 it was such a beautiful experience, met amazing people, ate great organic food and shared memorable moments. I was looking for an experience exactly like this one, wanted to disconnect from urban life and cotidianity in nature and learn more about auto sustentability and life in a community like this. I would definitely come back one day! Silvana and Johan were such great hosts and I feel like more than volunteering I was meeting with friends!

It was a very enriching and rewarding experience. The team was amazing, always supportive and available whenever you needed help. Everything is well organized the day before, so everyone clearly knows their tasks for the next day. There is always something to do, and while some activities can be a bit physically demanding at times, no one will pressure you if you’re not able to participate, you can do other things.
I recommend this place if you want to connect with nature.

Wapi is truly a wonderful place. Each room is a different little world, surrounded by nature. There are often different activities to participate in, and I've experienced many new things. My job here is simple gardening, cleaning, and painting on the doors and walls. The people here are very interesting and considerate. I welcome everyone to experience this place!

Wapi is a delightful place! Yohann is super welcoming and understanding. He never imposes you what to do, everything is decided together. Unfortunately, there is no public transportation in Lagerville, so you'll depend on the host to get everywhere, even to the nearby town (Souppes) for the train. That said, if you're interested to go to Paris regularly or even to other towns around, I don't think it'll be a good idea to stay at Wapi for a long time.
Apart from that, everything was great and I had such a good time during my stay there!!!

Wapi is a nice place. Unfortunately I didn't had a great time there duo to sever allergies that I had even though I didnt work in the garden. Because of that I left before the date i should have and the host was understanding. The host was nice, I did accpected him to be a little more welcoming. The work that I did was painting, wood working and repairing. It's important to note that some times they have "chantier participatif" so for a few days you are only with about 10 french people that dont speak English. Other then that you are with 2-3 people.

I really enjoyed the experience. Johan and Silvana are very affable, friendly and welcoming people, and they always treat us very well. During the stay, we have free access to the pantry and also the opportunity to learn several new activities.

The tasks are varied: some are calmer, while others require a bit more physical effort, but nothing we can't handle. I think it's positive precisely because it allows us to learn different things and participate in various day-to-day activities.

It was an enriching experience. I don't speak any other language, but Yohann speaks Portuguese, and he was very attentive, always giving his best so that we could understand each other. The schedules are divided into two parts during the day, they are respected and very flexible. Quiet activities, decoration, making things from recyclable materials, painting... The space is very comfortable; I felt at home even on the other side of the ocean! To go to Paris you have to arrange a time to carpool to the station, you can enjoy Paris to the fullest! Long live WAPI 🇧🇷🇫🇷

My experience with Wapi was simply transformative! As you settle into the project's routine, you become more and more involved with Wapi's purpose.

Yohann was an impeccable host from start to finish, very receptive to new ideas and always kept our well-being in mind. The Wapi setup is super cozy—you know those places you arrive at and immediately feel at home? It was exactly how I felt!

I recommend it to everyone who wants to dive into French culture and who believes in the purpose of a more sustainable life! Long live Wapi 🙌🏽
