I really enjoyed my time in Labaroche, Thierry and his whole family were super friendly and welcoming! Tasks were easy to complete, accommodations were above my expectations and meals were always delicious. I visited lovely towns and got to practice my French a lot, so in conclusion it was a great experience!

I really enjoyed my stay at Thierry's home from start to finish! He's a kind and patient host as he helped me practice my French and showed me the French way of life. I felt welcomed from the moment I walked into his home and Im truly grateful for my time spent in Labaroche!

It was very nice and lovely experience to stay in Thierry's house. I wanted to be engaged in nature and french local experiences, and they are fulfilled exactly in a way what I expected! Very welcoming host, their family, and not too hard works. Located in near Colmar and Strasbourg hence you can trip around the cities nearby as well. i highly recommend this world packers !!! Merci beaucoup pour toutes ces expériences, je vous souhaite tout le meilleur.

To say that this was a good first volunteer experience would be an understatement! I enjoyed my stay with the host and his family from start to finish. Thierry always made sure that I was comfortable with my surroundings, and would always go the extra mile to accommodate any needs I had. He and his family made every effort to make me feel welcomed and at peace in a new environment, and I genuinely appreciate all that they did. The work was exactly as Thierry had described, and could often be completed in a few hours, allowing me to explore many places during my stay. I truly loved my time here!
