The farm meaning "the proud hill". From the moment I arrived Danielle has been very welcoming. She's pretty straight forward & I really enjoyed that. Her cooking was amazing, always homemade w lots of veggies! I want to eat like her every day! She is very ecologically & environmentally aware & practices what she preaches. She has a strong work ethic and I can see that in the way she does things. The work is all very doable. I always enjoyed listening to her life stories. Overall very wholesome place. I wish Danielle lots of happiness & more beautiful moments in life.

Danielle was very friendly and welcoming, and I felt comfortable from the beginning. Even though my English isn't very good yet, everyone was very patient with me, which helped me practice and improve. During my stay, I learned a lot about sustainability and how to make compost, which was a really interesting and valuable experience. I'm very grateful for everything I learned and would definitely recommend this experience to other travelers.

2weeks flown by. Danielle is welcoming and trusting, full of compassion and knowledge. Pechlafière is the heart of a forest. I didn't know a lot about Périgord and I left speechless. Danielle and Django took us around historical sites, caves, castles and villages.The work is doable: pool maintenance (occasional dips), gardening, help cleaning rented house and kitchen tasks. I learned tons about recycling, agriculture and what it takes to run such a place. I still dream about the all the yummy healthy food, countless aperos after swim in rivers, Sunday markets and Danielle's travel stories.

My time volunteering at Danielle's house was full of cultural learning experiences; we had great conversations during meals, Django took us to various cities and on different outings, and he also taught me many skills that I'll carry with me for the rest of my life. There were so many stories and unique experiences—I recommend this to anyone who enjoys cultural immersion and prefers to be in a place away from big cities, The region is also full of historic cities and is a major tourist destination.

I've been very fortunate for having had this volunteer experience in the just last minute. I have some many wonderful things to say about Danielle and her son, Django, but I promise to be short. I felt very much belonged and cared by the time that I stayed there, and despite of the fact that I stayed for a short period because of hosts' personal plans, yet I felt blessed. I hope God bless this family endlessly, and many other volunteers are able to visit this kind people, place, and the small villages around.

I stayed in Pechlafière two weeks in February. There is no public transport and the winter weather is not the best, but I still enjoyed my time a lot. The work was not difficult and everything went as we had arranged. Thanks to Danielle and her family, I could experience life in the French countryside, dream about travelling across Africa, visit many lovely places, and discover French rap music. Thank you once more for everything!

I had a good time in Dordogne, France. I learned a lot about sustainability, French culture, and gardening. Unfortunately the total work hours were a bit more than listed which was unexpected. Everyone was flexible and thankful, but for the Worldpackers site, I would change it a little bit to better reflect the experience. Other than that, it was a good opportunity to learn and understand a new culture.

We had the most amazing time staying with Danielle! We enjoyed the work set out for us- was not too demanding and we were able to complete it at our own pace in the sun! Just bear in mind the schedule does fluctuate and is mostly manual labour. Danielle is a lovely lady with so many incredible stories to tell and welcomes you so warmly into her home. She is a wonderful cook all the food is very healthy and organic. We are already missing our stay and hope to return again someday! Thank you Danielle!

There's no review I could write that could encapsulate how incredible this experience has been. I am 21 years old, freshly graduated from school, but I'd say I learned more from Danielle than most classrooms have taught me. The work is rewarding, the location is serene, and to get to know Danielle is a privilege. I'll think about her and this experience for the rest of my life. You'd be doing yourself a great disservice to pass up this opportunity- the farm is a unique paradise.
