Cécile was very welcoming and made us two wonderful dinners, where we had a great chat. The farm is a beautiful place and being able to help on it was very fulfilling, and our work was varied. I had a fun week and would definitely recommend!

I had a fantastic time in L'aigle. Cecil is a very welcoming host and I enjoyed talking to her over the week. The taskes are not too strenuous and are completed in the morning. The facilities are very comfortable although be advised you may have to use a wood chip toilet! L'aigle is a nice town and the surrounding countryside is very beautiful although there isn't a great deal to do in town. Paris is close enough by for a day trip or a overnight stay.

Cécile has a very nice home with a beautiful and huge garden where she grows her own food. We had our own room and the work took around three hours every day
and was very doable and done by 12, so we had much free time. We had dinner together twice and the rest of the time we cooked for ourselves. The landscape around is very nice, but the village with a supermarket is 25 min walk away, however there are many bikes that you can use. Thank you Cécile for letting us stay at your nice home :)

Cécile and her family were so kind and welcoming! The everyday tasks were simple and involved upkeep in the garden/yard and testing creative workshops. Every volunteer got their own room and there was a kitchen provided for cooking our meals. There was a lot of free time since the daily tasks were all completed in the afternoon. I will miss the cat, Jodie!

Thank you Yiyi, I also enjoyed the time with you, working together outside and cleaning the garden from undesirable plants was so efficient and rewarding, and the quiet sessions of collective embroidery were nourishing for my preparation of the creative retreats to come.

I really enjoyed my stay at the guesthouse. They are kind and easy to talk to, and they make sure everything is well organized. The tasks were simple and clear, with a good balance between work and free time. The place is surrounded by nature, which makes it very peaceful and relaxing. It was also nice to share the experience with other Worlpackers. I'd definitely recommend.

Cécile and Damien are very kind and heartwarming couple. I felt at home since first day and staying with other travellers were so nice. This place offered me a great access to nature. The task was simple but many things to learn. Definitely recommendable!

Cécile and her family warmly welcomed me into their little corner of paradise. My first solo volunteering trip couldn't have been better. The house had everything I needed, and the work was varied, stimulating, and never too tiring. I had the chance to practice languages a lot (something I really cared about): English with another volunteer and long conversations in French with Cécile. I loved our daily tea with garden fruit, recipe swaps, and shared dinners. Twelve days to truly disconnect and reconnect with nature. Cécile and Damien—keep it up!

Cecile and her family were wonderful hosts, kind, respectful, and welcoming. Their home is beautiful and set on a stunning piece of land filled with fruit trees, a vegetable garden, and a variety of plants and flowers. Work hours and days off were always respected, and if a task happened to be more physically demanding, we'd finish earlier. We also shared a few lovely meals together and had many great conversations. :) I learned so much during my stay, and I'm grateful to have contributed my small part to the amazing project they have going on.

Many thanks Masiel for your comments and your dedication to helping with our project. I loved planted leeks while discovering each other. Precious moments I will always remember...

The stay at the farm was a very pleasant experience. Cecile is an excellent host, she welcomed me with generosity and hospitality. The tasks were very affordable and I learned a lot. The facilities are very comfortable and beautiful. I was lucky enough to share the volunteering with other very nice and friendly volunteers! A very nice community is created there :) (I definitely recommend it!)

Thank you Joel for visiting the farm and contributing to our project. I loved the team spirit that grew spontaneously among this little group of worldpackers, enriched by the various personalities and skills. It was great talking with you about your art, your projects while working!
