The Experience

We are a couple from the GB who have relocated to Carcassonne, France, where we plan to run a small Chambre d'hote and have a separate house where we live with our little daughter, 6-year-old Eve, who you will meet and no doubt be dragged to the local park to play with. We need help with the chambre d'hote and childcare, so we organise needs week by week. We are happy to help people improve their English and perhaps improve our French :-)

Hi Sam, It was an absoulute pleasure to get to know you and you were a great help to us. Full of energy and really motivated to do your best.

So good in fact that we use a few of your tips with other volunteers. If anyone is wondering if they should invite you I can say with no hesitation, yes :-)

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!! Mark and Rachel were welcoming and so gracious from Day 1! The location was amazing for experiencing everything the guest house had to offer! They were inclusive, inviting me and including me in many activities and outings, really engulfing me in their life and culture in France! The cleaning and expectations were laid out very clear to me and felt the work flow to be easily maintained and executed within the hourly timeframe! I had such an amazing time I absolutely didn't want to leave! I hope to go back and visit them in the future!!! :)

One of the best voluteering experiences I have had so far and that is the case for so many reasons: Mark ,Rachel and their little daughter Eve are such an amazing people they are kind ,friendly,patient and they do everything in their power to make you feel at home ,the working hours are respected 100% and they give you clear instructions about what needs to be done daily so you never feel lost.They make you feel part of their family (or at least that's how I felt).Mark is the best chef in town 😊 and Rachel is an angel ,she is so generous ,she always has a smile in her face and that's good

This volunteering experience couldn't have been better. The hosts are lovely, the guest house is a place that has it all and the nature here is so beautiful and the work never gets boring. You're welcomed with open arms and always respected and appreciated for the work you do. Rachel and Mark are incredible. They are always there for you if you have a question or need help with something and are so fun to spend time with. Working hours and free time are perfectly balanced and you will lack nothing. I'm so grateful for this experience. They have an adorable daughter.
