I had an amazing stay at El the guest house and would 100% recommend it. Lionel & Agnes were very welcoming hosts, I loved getting to know them over delicious lunches and card games. We planted and harvested veg/fruit, did gardening & if it was raining did cooking inside. The accom was better than just a private room, it was a whole guesthouse with bathroom & kitchen! I went on 2 lovely hikes with Agnès, they took me on tours to see local historical/cultural landmarks and drove me to the bus stop so that I could spend a Sunday in Toulouse! I feel lucky that this was my first Worldpackers experience!

Amazing experience! Lionel and Agnès were kind, welcoming, and patient, helping me improve my French during meals together. Their cozy house and beautiful garden are surrounded by charming villages and the stunning Montagne Noire region. Lionel clearly explained tasks, ensured the work was varied and manageable, and always cared about my well-being, especially in the summer heat. The hosts provided everything I needed, including food, a comfortable room, a guitar, and an electric bike. I highly recommend staying in the guest house—an unforgettable experience!

Lionel did everything he could to make my stay pleasant, and all agreements were respected. The apartment was better than shown, the food was great, working hours were respected, and the internet was stable. I also had an electric bike, useful in the countryside. The area is quiet with little social life, so it suits those who enjoy nature and solitude. Lionel invited me to dinner, which was a kind gesture. It's also a great place to practice French.

A wonderful experience!
Lionel and Agnes are very kind and warm-hearted. The tasks were easily manageable and varied. The food was always very tasty. In the heat you could also cool off very well in the pool. With the e-bike you could perfectly explore the impressive villages and landscapes. Lionel and Agnes also took me along for further tours by car. I can highly recommend the stay, especially for those who are looking for a bit of peace and nature.
