Maison de Chastenay
It’s an 18th-century mansion coming back to life after being frozen in the 1970s. It’s a work in progress and you can be a part of that. Maison de Chastenay is on the edge of a small town, so visitors can walk to most amenities or walk to rural fields. Forests are a short drive away, but you can also take public transit to visit the area.
I’m a hard worker and wear many hats. I'm restoring the house so it can be used as a bed and breakfast and event venue, and have done a lot of it by myself. Volunteers will be treated like guests and know they’re appreciated. I'm American with intermediate French language skills, so I default to English.

About the experience in: Châtillon-sur-Seine, France
El Salvador
Lissa was super friendly from the beginning, it felt like home. I always felt comfortable asking questions, and she was attentive to every detail to make sure my stay was smooth. The house itself is cozy and welcoming, with everything you need to feel at ease. I really appreciated the balance between having my own space and also sharing meaningful conversations with her. She also gave me great recommendations about the area, which helped me discover places I wouldn’t have found on my own. Overall, it was an enriching experience, and I’d gladly recommend staying with Lissa

I loved the experience. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn and be part of a project that connects them with nature, while still being engaging and helping them grow their knowledge and skills. It was an excellent first experience. Thank you, Lisa.

Muy lindo voluntariado tuvimos aquí! La casa es increíble, hace que te trasportes a otra época. Las tareas son muy variadas, entretenidas y sencillas. Y los horarios muy flexibles. Ella es muy atenta y amable haciendo que te sientas cómoda en su casa desde el primer momento. También tiene un hermoso perrito que se llama Beau, con el cual también jugábamos mucho en el hermoso patio que tiene la casa. Espero tengas la oportunidad de venir a voluntariar aquí ya que es una linda experiencia! Gracias por todo Lisa! 🤗

Thank you so much, Sabrina! I can't leave you a review, I think because the website thinks you left a long time ago. It was so easy to have you stay here, and to work together. I am still getting great feedback about the new logo and my website already got a b&b booking! Beau misses you too. <3

Our experience with Lisa was good! The volunteering is super quiet and the tasks are varied but very fun and easy to do. The room she gave us is beautiful and very comfortable. She was also very kind with us, making us feel part of the house from the first moment! Thanks for everything Lisa!

I can't find how to leave you a review. I think the website thinks you left on the original date and my time to write the review expired. I really enjoyed having you here! Working together was a bonus, and you helped me so much. The website looks amazing and I already got my first B&B booking! Thank you for everything - especially the delicious meal. :D
