If you're looking for a place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of big cities, plan to work from home, and learn about the restaurant world, this is the place for you. Sylou prepared dishes for us as if we were her clients, accommodated us in a five-star private room, and treated us with so much love that it's now impossible not to stay in touch with her. In just two weeks, she became our French mom 😆. Keep in mind that it's not a touristy place as it's a bit remote, but for us, who were looking for a place to rest a bit, it was perfect. 🤩

My experience with sylou was amazing. Our room was beautiful, she is so kind, flexible, and very clear with the help she needs. I was able to work in the kitchen and I was fascinated, I learned new things.🥰 I also work as a waitress and I love the experience. I really recommend this place 100% if you want to have a whole culinary experience since she cooks for the volunteers and it's delightful. You should consider that it's a bit remote, however, she picks you up at the station, takes you there, and when she need to do the shop, she can take you to the nearest village, La Charite.🥰

Sylou and Richard are amazing host, they made us feel like home. The village is really small, but with amazing views. We got also the chance to see another beautiful town. Sylou is really flexible with the activities and hours of volunteer, Sometimes we did less, sometimes we did more. At the end I would say that it also depends on you if you want to do more, she would never push you. I don't speak French, but even without it I got the chance to speak to a lot of locals. Thank you Sylou always for the amazing and loving meals.Thank you for the happy moments and all the love that you gave us

I really recommend this experience at the restaurant if you're willing to practice your French, and stay immersed in the French culture. The hosts Sylou and Richard are amazing people. I'll forever be grateful for what they did for me. The tasks are reasonable, and so are the days off that you have to travel around Europe. The rooms for the worldpackers are amazing, and the food is great. I had no experience at restaurants/bars and they were kind and patient to teach me everything. I'll take those lessons with me forever. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Bonjour Gilvan !! Merci beaucoup pour ton gentil commentaire et désolée de n'avoir pas mis le mien à temps !! J'ai été très contente de l'aide que tu m'as apportée, tu es investi dans ce que tu fais, curieux d'apprendre et tu parles très bien le français !! Je te souhaite de continuer à voyager et à prendre du plaisir dans ce que tu fais! Les personnes qui te recevront peuvent être assurés d'avoir à leur côté une personne sérieuse, efficace, et qui apprends vite. Et tu reviens quand tu veux !
