I had such a rewarding stay here, with a really warm welcome ! Dorian and Camille are both willing to offer us the best stay possible (schedules rearranged if needed, driving us to sweet places, offering us the opportunity to discover local activities…). The place is really confortable and the tasks totally fit those announced on the app.
Thanks to their patience and pedagogy, you feel capable and confident about what you're doing, and you learn a lot (mainly about eco-construction, but also about basic life aspects). A 100% recommend this experience !!

My experience was great! Loved learning about the natural construction techniques and meeting new people. The food provided was amazing and my tent was super cozy. They always made sure I was comfortable and provided everything that I needed.

It was amazing, I tried different dishes every day, each volunteer contributed a bit of their knowledge in the kitchen and it was very rewarding, on Wednesdays we went to a cooperative meal where you could talk with other people, a very nice community in the countryside. I went canoeing, it was a lot of fun, but also exhausting. I learned about the properties of straw and how to use it depending on what you need to build, the work was fun, we listened to music and also French lessons, and Dorian corrected us to pronounce better. Thanks Dorian and Camille.

A very rewarding experience. Dorian and Camille were extremely kind: they picked me up at the train station and took me back at the end. I met travelers from different places, mainly French, which helped me with the language, and during the work I could listen to my classes and music. Also, there was always good food during the stay. Since I didn't have a car, Dorian lent me a bicycle to get around, he took me to explore the nearby town and I even happened to be there during the season for canoeing. A wonderful stay that I would definitely repeat!

A highly recommended experience. From the very first moment, it manages to create a very pleasant atmosphere, where you feel comfortable, valued, and eager to participate. In addition to contributing your part, you gain insights and good moments. Without a doubt, I would do it again and would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about volunteering.
