The Experience

Nice place in the Morvan. A lot of animals. You will help for very différents things. I live in Robin in a beautifull place of seven hectares surrounded by forests and fields in the middle of the natural Park of the Morvan with small woodhouses, gypsy house , sauna, small lake and animals . The place is located closer to Autun, historic city. There is also near there, the bibracte montain, the biggest archéologic center from europe. Welcome

The community is very welcoming and friendly to all who arrive at the Robin and his constant smile and laughter is warming. He is easy to talk to plus gentle with all that he says. The Robin is unique which calls volunteers back and some to stay for good. It's simple way of life is a good break from the rush of the city.

My experience with the community at the farm was amazing! The farm has a super warm atmosphere and is full of animals, especially all kinds of birds. the community really goes out of his way to make you feel right at home, and the work schedule is completely respected. Was my first volunteer and I learn so many things and I had a wonderful time.

I had an amazing time with the community. He was extremely welcoming and made me feel right at home. He always tells you what to expect and sticks to his word. The tasks could sometimes be hard, but the community makes sure that after a tough job, you get an easier one. He also made sure we didn't work too much in the sun and provided fun activities from time to time. ​There is also a small river just 20 minutes from the place, which is totally worth visiting. ​There are no shopping malls nearby, so I recommend bringing everything you will need during your stay. ​I am really grateful for this experience😊

The place is very connected to nature, peaceful and great if you enjoy calm environments. The sleeping area was comfortable. The gardening work can be physically demanding at times and requires some strength, but there were also easier tasks and different activities during the stay. The dogs are also very lovely and there are many different kinds of birds around the area. Also, the food was really good, the community cooks very well, so no worries about that haha. Overall it was a good opportunity to disconnect from the city life and spend time in nature.
