Domaine de la Juranvillerie

Hello ! We're Sylvain and Vincent (and our dogs Oona & Oasis and our cat Anggun).

We have a large guest house located in a pretty little village on the edge of a forest, we are in Touraine, in the heart of the Loire Valley, a French cultural region rich in history and gastronomy.
The region is very popular with tourists and offers a wide range of activities. Immerse yourself in French history, culture and language!

We're a little isolated in the forest, but it's ideal for nature walks. Ideal for those who love contemplation and calm. We're a five-minute bike ride from the village and a ten-minute drive from the nearest towns, Chinon, Langeais and Azay-le-Rideau.

We are three quarters of an hour from Tours, which is an hour from Paris by TGV.

We have a poor level of English. So, it’s better for you that you have some knowledge of French.

I am looking for volunteers to help me with my daily chores in a guest house, from breakfast to dinner at night. The job consists of assisting me (two people is more fun and faster) in the maintenance of the house and the rooms for a few hours a day. The idea is to free up time to enjoy life and sightseeing. The work is a bit repetitive but it is not complicated and is done in a pleasant environment. I am quite friendly and sociable, my house is always wide open. I am said to be a passionate and talkative person. I have to welcome the volunteers as family members and offer them the same attention as my guests. I would like to show them my favorite castles, restaurants and places in the Loire Valley.

I had an excellent time volunteering here. Vincent, Sylvain, and Pierre-Yves were very welcoming and generous during my stay, and were keen to show me different aspects of French culture (à la guinguette!) which I really appreciated. The work was pretty straightforward, and in my free time I enjoyed exploring the region on the bike. Some of the castles are absolutely breathtaking. Overall I have enjoyed myself and am grateful for this experience.

⭐ My experience in Domaine de la Juranvilerrie was simply unforgettable! 🌿
I felt like part of the family from day one. I learned so much about French culture, enjoyed every shared meal (and wine), and loved the daily routines with Una and Oasis 🐶. The real magic was in the exchange — stories, laughs, and kindness.
The tasks were simple but meaningful.But the true treasure of this experience was the human connection ✨
💌 If you’re looking for more than just a volunteer opportunity — if you want to live real moments, learn, laugh,and be moved — I wholeheartedly recommend this experience! ❤️

This was my 4th WP experience in France and it was by far the best! You aren not just seen as a non-payed employee, but as a part of the family that helps with the daily chores (that aren't many). Sylvain and Vincent are a very cultivated and traditional french couple that are eager to share with you the true french culture, from excellent food/wine to discussions. You are encouraged and expected to interact with them (and the guests, mostly during breakfast), so this isn't the place if you just want to stay locked inside your nice room or if you aren't interested in french culture.

Me sentí muy bien recibida y respetada en cuanto a las tareas que tenía que hacer. Aproveché para practicar mi francés, conocer algunos lugares en los alrededores y sumergirme en la cultura del lugar. Vincent y Sylvain fueron muy agradables y atentos. Quedo muy agradecida por esta experiencia y la recomiendo para todos los que busquen lugares tranquilos y en contacto con la naturaleza.

This experience was really different from other Worldpackers trips I’ve done in that I was encouraged, and indeed expected, to be a part of the household and the family. Vincent and Sylvain are lovely hosts, and I had a great time with them. I am grateful for their patience with me, despite the slight language barrier! The property is beautiful, the local surroundings are amazing, the dogs are gorgeous, and the people (both hosts and guests) are friendly and welcoming. A big thank you to you all - Vincent, Sylvain, Pierre-Yves, and the pets - for taking care of me and including me so much! :)
