Christine and everyone staying with her were infinitely welcoming to me!! It was such a privilege to eat such healthy food while also being a part of the people who contribute to that food's growth. I was so comforted to see the community that Christine supports - in my personal experience with the women I know in my culture it's been rare to see so many female friendships last so long. I respect these women I met so very much for their ever strong playfulness and curiosity, thank you to Christine for introducing me to them along with the young girls I met of course!!! Thank you <3

I loved my experience with Christine. She lives in a beautiful place, she has beautiful cats and a beautiful heart! I loved when she took us to her dancing classes, where we danced the traditional French dance! She also took us to amazing places near her village, we visited castles and rivers !! I would not say that the language is a barrier, since she makes a huge effort to understand us, with lots of dictionaries at her house… besides this, she is the best French listener hahaha, since she can understand all of my “wrong French”. I loved this. God bless you, Christine.

Christine is a truly kind and caring person, always willing to help and offer support whenever needed. She is also flexible, understanding, and very easy to get along with. I am very grateful for the opportunity to have met her and worked with her. Thank you for making this experience so special!

Christine is a very kind person and an amazing host. Her place is just as calm and peaceful as she is and Im very grateful that I could live with her for a little while. From the first minute I felt very welcome and though out the whole stay Christine took very good care of me. I got to meet some of her amazing friends and she took me to see many nearby villages. The food was always delicious, hours as agreed - and I learned soo much! Yes, knowing french is an advantage, but I had an amazing time and I dont speak french at all! Overall I had a great experience! I recommend this stay 100%!!!

It was a great time in Christine's house. She kindly invited me and I experienced so many new things. She has a respect to people of course, but also animals and to the surrounding nature. I liked how she makes a lot of things to eat and I was able to try so many homemade French cuisines! It was a little difficult sometimes to communicate since I speak better in Japanese and Christine in French, but still it was fun talking with her about cultural differences and about a good life. I met a lot of Christine's friends as well, and it was better if I improved my French to understand them.
