La experiencia

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.

Programa detallado

We have hosted volunteers from all over the world for the last 15 years. We value enthusiasm and encourage collaboration. We share our skills and like to learn about visitors culture and experiences.

We are a couple who swapped the office life for the outdoors and are renovating an old stone farmhouse nestled in the beautiful Cevennes mountains in southern France. Our property is located in a peaceful valley, just a 5-minute walk from a small village and a 5-minute drive from a medium-sized town. 🚶‍♂️🏘️
Accommodation:
We offer a caravan 🚐 for those who prefer their own space, as well as room in the house 🏠. The house has mains water 💧, electricity ⚡, and a bathroom with a flushing toilet 🚽. You can relax and enjoy siestas or picnics on our charming wisteria-covered terrace 🌸, complete with chairs and tables 🪑🍽️.

Cultural Experiences Offered:
Meet new people and be part of a warm community 🤝
Explore and learn about our beautiful local area 🗺️
Opportunity to learn or practice language skills 🗣️

Vegetarian and vegan-friendly environment 🥕🌱
If you’re passionate about nature 🌿, renovation 🏚️➡️🏡, and cultural exchange 🌍, and want to immerse yourself in rural French life, this could be the perfect opportunity for you! ✨

Actividades & Turnos

We share meals and arrange each day to suit individual needs. Volunteers work 25 hours a week. We are flexible about work schedules.

Activities:
There are always various jobs to be done in the garden 🌻🌱, including repairing or rebuilding terraced stone walls 🧱. The farmhouse was empty for decades, so there’s plenty to do — from construction and renovation 🛠️ to landscaping 🌳. We’ve completed the roof replacement 🏠🔨, installed new floors and windows 🪟, and crafted a wooden staircase from local timber 🪵. We’re making progress on wiring and plumbing 🚿 and currently live in a part of the house while finishing renovations in the last section.
We work hard but also make sure to enjoy time off exploring the area 🏞️ — from high mountains 🏔️ to forests 🌲, rivers 🌊, waterfalls 💦, historic towns 🏰, local markets 🛒, and maybe even a trip to the coast 🏖️. The nearest cities, Nîmes and Montpellier, are accessible by bus 🚌, and we provide bicycles 🚲 for volunteers to borrow.
