*Please note that our "changeover day" for volunteers is monday for 2026 :)*
The exchange will be 2.5hrs of volunteering 6 days a week which will include helping cleaning and tidying the communal areas and rooms (from 10-12:30 each working morning), possibly some child care with Teo (for example when I teach a yoga class). There is a small possibility of also helping out with some gardening and DIY (but probably unlikely).
We will provide coffee and tea and one main meal (which we will always aim to eat all together, which will probably be lunch) each working day.
You'll have access to the big communal kitchen where you can keep and prepare your meals you dont have with us.
We appreciate volunteers who share some time with us, participate in shared meal prep at times and help with things like washing up, setting the table etc. It's also important to us that you engage with Teo 🙃
The nearest airport to us is Lourdes-Tarbes, the nearest train station is Lourdes. Hitchiking is the best way to explore around here.
Cleaning bedrooms, one private ensuite bathroom and a big sanitary block (which you will also be using for showers and sinks) and includes a special power hose so it takes only about 45mins to clean when we deep clean it once a week but also light cleaning every day. Vacuuming and mopping floors of the corridors, kitchen and bar areas. Dusting and wiping down work surfaces. Working times will usually be 10am - 12:30. However, we ask for a little flexibility for if we need someone to watch Teo possibly in the early evening.
We are open to discussion and open minded people who have been hosting for over 8 years now and have had some really great times (we were also volunteers before for about 5 years ourselves so have been on both sides of these kinds of exchanges).
We enjoy sharing moments out of working time with volunteers when we can and encourage you to take advantage of the beautiful surroundings - hikes and the mountains. We are at 700m altitude and hitchhiking to go on hikes works really well. We are also next to some thermal baths which are lovely to relax in just 200m from our front door (we provide a special discount).
We ask volunteers to respect the spaces they live in and respect us and our little Teo. We work on trust and confidence. We ask you not to smoke inside nor when looking after Teo. We We enjoy sharing wine all together but don\'t appreciate people being drunk beyond reason.
Please help with the food prep/setting the table/washing up of our shared meal - which we will provide.
