La experiencia

Bonjour and welcome!
My name is Yves, and I live with my 11-year-old son Robin, who stays with me every other week. We’re based in Yenne, a peaceful village in the beautiful Savoie countryside — just 30 minutes from Chambéry and Aix-les-Bains, 15 minutes from the stunning Lac du Bourget, and only 5 minutes from the center of Yenne.

Programa detallado

We live on a renovated farmhouse with 2 hectares of land, and we're surrounded by animals and nature:
🐏 Cameroon sheep
🦆 Ducks & guinea fowl
🐶 An Australian shepherd dog
🐱 A lovely cat
🌱 Plus, we grow many of our own fruits and vegetables!
In exchange for around 25 hours of help per week, we offer:
🛏️ A cozy room in our farmhouse (or space for a tent/van)
🍽️ Shared meals made with love and quality ingredients
🚲 Bikes available to explore the area
💻 WiFi and good mobile signal
🧼 A clean, welcoming, and respectful family environment
✨ About Us:
I’m a former chef, decorator, and artisan, passionate about craftsmanship, good food, and sustainable living. I restored this farmhouse from ruins 9 years ago and now live a fulfilling life close to nature, surrounded by creativity and community.
We're working on beautiful ongoing projects like a natural swimming pool, handmade roulottes (tiny homes), and building a large creative space on the land.
We love to host guests, share knowledge, tell stories, and laugh. Friends often visit, and we enjoy meals and good conversations around the table.
💚 What We Look For in Volunteers:
We welcome people who are:
In good spirits and open to learning
Courteous, kind, and compassionate
Passionate about nature, animals, and DIY projects
Respectful of shared living spaces
Comfortable around children and animals
Whether you're a solo traveler, couple, or family — you’re welcome here.
🌍 Cultural Exchange Opportunities:
Learn or improve your French
Discover Savoyard culture and nature
Share your language and food traditions
Take part in creative and sustainable living projects
If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat in nature, full of learning, laughter, and purpose, this might be your place.
