Lucien welcomed me into his charming home graciously. I am grateful he was willing and able to accommodate my gluten allergy. I worked in the mornings on tasks such as: weed whacking, tree trimming, painting, or moving stones. The work was simple. The only thing I found amiss about the experience was the smell coming from the septic tank but Lucien told me he was working on getting it fixed and gave me some essential oils for the smell. I enjoyed the time I spent with Lucien, he is very kind, I will miss his cooking. Travel to Nice and Monaco on the weekends was easy with the bus and tram.

Lucian welcomed me into his home with great cuisine and a flexible schedule. I woke up when was comfortable, not to late and we had breakfast together usually. worked alone in the morning, together in the afternoon. But not always. He was respectful about what work was to be done and boundaries. Realistic with goals and found jobs that I could do. I loved the view from his place and he provided suitable accommodation. We usually had good chats after work and had great lunch to keep me full. If you’re ok with hard work, direct instruction and good food I can definitely recommend him.

At the end of my experience with Lucien I ended up wanting me to stay longer. We worked together to build different elements around his house and that truly helped me figure out how straightforward it can be as well as how fast work can be done if working towards a common goal. Lucien’s food is out of this world and he always try to make delicious, healthy and varied food.

I got to enjoy out chats together and he helped me a lot with French language.

During my days off I got to visit nice and Monaco a few times as it is a short trip from Lucien’s home.

I really loved this experience!

I had the best experience working and living with Lucien ! Going to bed and waking up to the sound of the river , meeting the best people , Luciens cooking , and living in the mountains surrounded by so much greenery are only a few things that made this experience so good.Lucien is one of the kindest people I have ever met , and I felt so at home.He always made sure that I enjoyed the work that I was doing and was very flexible with work times.I would recommend this to anyone , and I can’t wait to visit again :) Thank you so much Lucien .

Este lugar es realmente maravilloso, aquí me enamoré de Francia y su cultura. Las montañas, el rio, la calma y la paz que sentí es tan grande y que ayuda a olvidar ese mundo agitado y ruidoso de las ciudades, tanto así que es mi segundo voluntariado en el mismo lugar y lo podría repetir muchas veces más.
Lucien es una persona maravillosa muy amable y gentil, y me ayudó a practicar y hablar el francés. Me llevo muchos conocimientos y consejos para la vida, Recomiendo 100% esta experiencia.
