The Experience

Je suis artisan feutriere, je crée des objets de décoration et des accessoires en feutre de laine locale .la fabrication du feutre est très intéressant mais très physique et j'ai besoin d'aide pour faire des galets en feutre. Il y également la communication sur mon activité à améliorer. il y a pleins de petits travaux à faire à la maison. Fixer des étagères, porter et monter des meubles.L'idée c'est de faire ensemble et dans la bonne humeur.

Hi! It was such a nice travel, Birgit was allways willing to answer all my quedtions about french language and tookme to visit beautiful places near Nyons. The woking hours were some bricolage, and making art with felt. You have a entire big kitchen for cook, a bike, and a room for you during the week and to share with Swan (Birgit son, that is pretty nice). I recomend it if you are interested in lesrning french and if you are lloking for a peacefull time in a quiet place. Meeting the other volunteer was amazing, I was very lucky to meet Eva, such a lovely person.

Nyons is such a nice village; there's hiking, huge markets, river jumping, pools and culture everywhere. The host is lovely and speaks multiple languages (French, English, German, some Spanish/ Portuguese) and she is very flexible with the work. She is very open to accommodating free time for you. One day she even drove another volunteer and I part of the way to Avignon (A palace city I recommend visiting). You probably will be sleeping on a mattress on the floor. The work is helping to make decorations out of local wool. It is relaxing and easy to learn: no artistic experience required.

I really enjoyed the experience, the city is amazing and the people are super welcoming. The location is perfect, close to pretty much all the Drôme sights in Nyons. Hostess Birgit and her son Swan were really nice to me, I felt really comfortable during my stay. Birgit was very attentive to teaching, as well as showing a great desire to learn more about the culture of Brazil. They were unique moments, I certainly learned a lot on this trip, thank you! 🇧🇷❤️🇫🇷

Nyons est un village magnifique et j'ai aimé vraiment beaucoup l'experience de travail avec Birgit! On a fait du feutre et on a travaillé avec le réseaux sociaux de son activité, et Birgit m'a aussi enseigné à faire les impressions végétales sur les tissus et m'a raconté son expérience dans le monde de la mode! J'ai eu aussi a chance de visiter Avignon et Orange, 2 villes assez proches du village. Une magnifique expérience, merci Birgit pour tout!

A experiência na casa foi muito boa de forma geral. Eu estava em um momento complicado e foi esse voluntariado que me ajudou a seguir adiante. Aprendi sobre o processo de fabricação de artesanato com lã e seda, conheci o estilo de vida das pessoas de Nyons, fui bem acolhido. A cidade é pequena então é possível conhecê-la rapidamente, mas também fomos para algumas cidades em redor anexar cartazes para o evento de artesanato. Por outro lado, reparei que em muitos momentos havia um certo distanciamento e falta de comunicação por parte da anfitriã. De forma geral, a experiência foi boa.
