The Experience

We live in a village near Evian les Bains. We are renovating a house. We will be happy to welcome volunteers to live an experience discovering our life, French cuisine, Lake Geneva and our mountains. You will be accommodated independently, lunch will be shared after spending the morning together. There is a large bedroom with two beds so, occasionally, you can be two. In this case you will share the bathroom, dry toilets and bedroom.

This was my first experience in Worldpackers and i couldn't have been more satisfied with how it went. Truly an amazing experience with beautiful views and hike trails, and two very welcoming hosts!

The experience was really great and I learned a lot, especially in terms of construction work, but I also was able to expand my french vocabulary and get back into speaking french which was really nice! On top of that I was exposed to a very good authentic french cuisine:) They are both very patient and kind people who are willing to share their knowledge with you and involve you into their lives! The afternoons were always free and the place is absolutely perfect for hikes with stunning views! I always got good recommendations and sometimes even a ride to da hike or explore the next city.

I had such a great time staying with the home and the home! They are both such kind people and the experience was great. The work with the home was rewarding and the home makes the best meals when it's time to eat. They recommended some great hikes in the area and the scenery is stunning. I'm very glad that I chose to apply here, I would absolutely recommend!

My three weeks with the home and the home were amazing. Delicious meals by the home from the garden and learning new skills thanks to the home. Plenty of things to do in your free time, often got great suggestions by them. Overall really awesome first experience.

This experience was great in all ways it could be. The hosts are very welcoming and there's no need to worry about anything. Working hours were really clear and the work itself was very interesting and didn't require any previous experience as the home will teach you everything you need to know. Céciles made food was always delicious and gives great insight into french cuisine. There is always something to do as hiking, going to markets, exploring the villages and cities around and the hosts will gladly drop you off or pick you up wherever you need. Everything was just amazing!
