This is the place to reconnect to nature and to yourself, sharing great meals, and taking care of animals, it is quite better for you to come if you already have experience with horses but this was a good experience for me. Thanks to them to have shared this month with me.

I had an amazing time during this experience! The hosts were kind, supportive, and made me feel at home from the start. The tasks were well-organized and aligned with the description, giving me the chance to learn and contribute meaningfully. I also enjoyed the cultural exchange, sharing stories, and making memories that I will cherish forever. Thank you for such a wonderful opportunity. I highly recommend this to future volunteers!

My stay with Sylvia and Jerom was fantastic. I felt like I gained a new family in France. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed. If you love animals and working independently, this is the perfect place. The "work" was light—feeding dogs and cats, lunging and riding horses, watering plants, and maintaining the greenhouse. We often cooked together, and I had plenty of free time. Sylvia and Jerom took me to flea markets and we watched movies together. I already miss them and the animals! If you want to relax and connect with nature, I highly recommend it.

I had a magnifique summer there. I took care of their lovely animals and I had a lot of freedom with the horses. Of course there were some rules, but nothing dramatic. Only common sense😉Especially I was amazed of the landscape. I loved my frequent rides in nature and I were allowed to take their bike to do some tours. Thanks to Jérôme I saw a lot of france: the tourdefrance, open-air-cinema, firework and fleamarkets. However if you don't enjoy workig on your own or even farm-work in general, maybe it's not the right fit. But if you do, you'll have an amazing grounding experience. Merci<3
