The Experience

We are a family of 2, living in a pretty little house located in Provins, a medieval city classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and would love to welcome a volunteer for an enriching cultural exchange. We really enjoy music and cultural outings. The biggest help I need at the moment is the preparation of meals, for lunch and dinner

Stephanie is a dear, full of good energy. I am very happy and grateful to have spent these days at her house; the days were very fun and I recharged my energy . I learned a lot about the local culture, cooked with full love, rested a lot, visited Provins and Paris and played cards. Merci beaucoup! 🙃

Very nice family and house, I was able to see the village of Provins because everything is close and easy to visit. My working times were flexible (as long as I attended my duty of course). Stephanie is a very dynamic person and helped me progress in my french, we played chess, cards and had a good time together. I also loved the cats so much, they even slept with me! I am grateful and would definitely return in another opportunity.

Stéphanie is an incredibly kind and caring person with a big heart who made me feel right at home. The task of cooking lunch and dinner was very straight forward. As she is not a picky eater and very open to trying new things the experience was very enjoyable and stress free! The town is beautiful and is a great place to relax and reconnect. The dynamic in the house is unique as the other room is rented out as an Airbnb or can also serve as emergency accomadtion. So it is something to keep in mind! For me, it provided a culturally rich experience which I learned so much from. Thank you!😊

It was so nice meeting Stephanie and her lovely cats. Provins is a medieval city, so old and beautiful to explore. This is a nice experience to improve your cooking skills and to learn different games with Stephanie :)
