My volunteer experience may differ from most others because Danielle was away for two of the three weeks I spent on her farm. (Therefore, I can't describe the typical daily routine on the farm.) I really enjoyed my stay. The work was quite simple and focused mainly on working with the animals, which I enjoyed very much. Danielle is very friendly, and I felt very welcome from the first moment. I would recommend staying when Danielle is there, as you then get to see more of the surrounding area and aren't just stuck on the farm like I and the other volunteer were. I would definitely recommend

Volunteering at the farm's has been a breath of fresh air. Both the farm and Denis are incredibly welcoming hosts. There was never a shortage of good food, great company, or engaging conversation. The daily tasks with the horses are straightforward, and I've completely fallen in love with all the animals. Plus, the house and the surroundings are stunning; I was able to work remotely comfortably, finding the perfect balance between my screen and the outdoors. We'll totally be back!

Overall my experience with the farm was nice, she is a kind lady and the work is very simple at her farm. only a few things i'd mention; there's no nice way to say this but her home is quite messy. you'll also have to be the one to clean up after everyone, as no one rarely does (in my experience); the work hours are spread out the day, so it leaves you little time to do your own thing - although it was different for me because she was away the whole of my stay, so i had no days off and required to stay on property for the dogs. BUT, i can recommend 2 weeks max there! animals are v lovely :)

Merci pour tout! the farm and Denis are super welcoming and it was always pleasant to spend time with them. The house was always filled with lots of friends and family. Perfect to practice your french. The work with the horses is usually about an hour in the morning/at noon and in the evening, sometimes I would have preferred to have more structure throughout the day. I loved watching them practice vaulting, they are all doing amazing! Thank you for hosting me! :)

What an incredible experience at the farm's place. From the very first moment,I was welcomed with exceptional kindness and warmth.the farm and her family are amazing people always smiling, attentive, and ready to help. Their equestrian center is much more than just a workplace; it's a lively, positive place where you instantly feel part of the family.Privilege!! Working with the horses, helping with the daily activities, and taking part in the life of the center were truly enriching moments. The children who practice vaulting are adorable, passionate, and full of joy. Their enthusiasm is con
