Programa detallado

At La Filature, we’re creating something special — a space where history, nature, and community come together. Volunteers help with a mix of outdoor tasks like gardening, ivy removal, and light renovation or DIY projects. No special skills are needed, just a good attitude and a willingness to pitch in.

You’ll stay in our charming stone home in the Ardèche countryside, surrounded by vineyards and mountains. Accommodations are private (if solo) or shared (friends and couples welcome), and there’s space for camper vans.

This is a relaxed, inspiring environment where cultural exchange happens naturally. We speak English, French, Spanish, and Dutch, and love welcoming people from all backgrounds. You’ll work 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, with time to explore, swim, hike, or just take it all in.
