We have an old stone farmhouse in a peaceful valley in the Cevennes region of southern France. We welcome volunteers who would like to help us run our house and organic garden. There are fruit trees and bushes and a veg patch. We can teach gardening and building skills and want to work together with helpers, learning and collaborating. We share our knowledge of the local culture as well as conversation, food and fun.

We had such an incredible stay at the home. Louise and Richard were warm hearted, kind and generous in sharing their lovely home with us. Each day was different; we gleaned apples from the orchard, pruned trees, painted walls, weeded the strawberry patch and dusted. Working hours were respected and in the afternoons we had plenty of time to go swimming down at the river. They also showed us some beautiful swimming spots dotted all around the area, as well as great walks and markets. We never had a dull moment. It was the best workstay we could have asked for.

Our stay at the home was our first Worldpackers experience, and it couldn't have been a better start! Louise and Richard are brilliant hosts - friendly, respectful, engaging, and a lot of fun. The tasks were varied (from peeling apples to cutting down trees!) and the hours were absolutely respected. Louise and Richard took us on some beautiful trips to various swimming holes and markets, and introduced us to their local friends. We really felt like we became part of the household, learned new skills, and forged new friendships. Highly recommend — we miss the place already!

The home is set in a beautiful orchard, and we had a really lovely experience staying with them. The work we did was mainly construction and repairs. Richard and Louise are wonderful people, and we had many really interesting conversations with them. We learned a lot from Richard, had wonderful meals together cooked by Louise, and they were also very generous with us, taking us out and showing us around the area. We stayed in a caravan outside their house. We really enjoyed this experience and would definitely recommend it

We had a great time at the home! The hosts were warm and welcoming from day 1. Richard is very kind hearted and patient in explaining every task; Louise made sure to show us around the area and welcoming and her food is magnifique! The surrounding towns and nature are incredible, we were surrounded by orchards, fig and walnut trees, grapes and even kiwis. We helped rebuilding historic stone walls, and learned a thing or two about making mortar and restoring medieval walls. Hours were respected and gave us plenty of time to discover the hidden treasures of the Cevennes. Absolutely would r

Richard and Louise were the most welcoming and amazing hosts. The communication on the tasks and work was both clear and flexible. The home was gorgeous and you got to experience the French countryside while being close to the town Le Vigan. I would defiantly recommend the home to all travelers!
