This was my first Wp experience and it was just amazing! I planned on staying 3 weeks but ended up staying 3 Months. They really made me feel at home and included me into their daily live with trips, apéro with friends or fleamarket on Sunday. The work can be physically demanding, but definitely doable. As they do everything themselves, the tasks are very varied and interesting- I learned a lot. It's very rewarding to see the progress. My French improved a lot, especially my comprehension. The food was amazing-very seasonal, it was nice to discover new dishes and also the cheese after dinner

Overall I had a good experience at the home. The house is beautiful and I was able to go on beautiful hikes in the area. Also met some amazing worldpackers who were also there at the time of my stay. Be prepared to eat vegetarian and french meals/portions as it can be smaller or bigger change depending on which food culture you're used to. In my view you will get the most out of the experience if you speak french at a conversational level or thereabouts and might want to practice it. I really got to practice my french which was nice.

What an incredible experience. I absolutely loved the time I spent with Clémentine and Manuel at the home. Working hours were respected, the tasks were easy to complete, and the work always varied. I learned a lot about using a cement mixer. It was rewarding to see the progress that was made in just three weeks time. I was thankful to be able to practice French. Free days were spent wandering around flea markets and exploring public forests. I would happily return.

Absolutely wonderful hosts and people, Clementine and Manuel made me feel very comfortable and welcome as soon as I arrived. The work was super interesting and varied, we mixed cement, put down floors, filled and plastered walls, gardened, and so on. We had breakfast lunch and dinner together, and also would join Clementine and Manuel going to the local farmers market, flea market, and a couple of times to Uzes. Loved loved loved my time there and would definitely volunteer again if possible, hopefully next time my French will be better. 😁

I stayed with Clémentine and Manuel for three weeks. They are kind and generous people and I really enjoyed the time we shared. While there I worked on restoring parts of the house or in the garden. Clémentine and Manuel put so much time and care into each project, making everything look finished and beautiful. At times it felt like an honour to watch them work, and I'm glad to have been able to contribute. I learned a great deal from both of them. In my spare time I enjoyed going on hikes with other volunteers, as well as exploring nearby places like Uzès, Nîmes and Pont Du Gard.
