I had the most wonderful time here! Gaëlle and Benjamin are some of the most welcoming people I've ever met and working with them was a genuine pleasure. The other volunteers were all super friendly and I had a great time getting to know them. My French improved a lot, but I'd say that if you don't speak any French you can definitely still come here. Thank you so much Gaëlle and Ben!!

Take care my dear Pira... and thank you soooo much for your precious help and magical presence at our hostel :)

Gaelle and Benjamin are incredible human beings, they are so nice and you feel like at home with them. Everybody there is so kind and frequently they ask how you feel. This was my first experience with Worldpackers and definitely I recommend to join this project. You can be in touch with nature and learn about many things. I will miss everything there 🥰

My stay at the hostel has been simply amazing. Both Ben and Gaëlle are amazing hosts and are incredibly kind and supportive. Theirs kids are also super kind and full of energy. Also need to mention Cyprien who has been supportive and helpful at every turn, making my life and the lives of the other volunteers fun and exciting. The work is easy, simple and flexible. Hours are respected and the scheduling is very flexible if you want to explore other villages around. The nature is also some of the best in France. It is isolated however, so keep that in mind. Highly recommend, I love it

Gaëlle and Ben welcome me as a family member and treat me very well all the time, me and the other helpers became friends very quickly, everyone in the village was kind, I had amazing afternoons at the river, delightful musical dinners at the hostel , soft and fun working hours at the kitchen.

I am very grateful for my time here!! I truly feel like I made friends and family in France. It was hard to leave a place full of so much love. The setting was magical along a beautiful river surrounded by mountains. The area has climbing, hiking trails and rafting! The work hours were respected and relaxed. It was encouraged to keep life interesting and try different things to help out. I personally found working in the kitchen stressful at times but often relaxed with music and dancing. I enjoyed cooking and being creative. Knowing French is suggested!! :)

Dear sweet Mady, Thank you for your nice message.
It was very special to me to have met you for 1 month... You are such a beautiful person I feel very lucky to have known in my life : very sensitive, creative, helpful, soooo kind, sportive, positive, open-mind... enjoying the life. You are a "model" for us and our family. Thank you so much for your magical presence.
