Volunteering with Muriel And Thierry was one of the most beautiful experiences of my time in France. From the very first day they opened their home to me and and made me feel like part of their family,something I will carry in my heart forever. The work was simple and well explained, and the working hours were always respected. The food was DELICIOUS, and the dogs were absolutely lovely! I highly recommend this volunteer opportunity. Plus we can talk in spanish. Thank you for everything! I am already looking forward to seeing you all again! ❤️

Our stay was very nice. We never had to work more than the agreed hours and the tasks were varied, well explained and easy to manage. The food was diverse, delicious and always freshly cooked. Muriel and Thierry were very friendly and welcomed us with open arms. The dogs were also incredibly cute and they always kept things fun. The place is quite remote and there is no public transport, but Muriel took us on small trips so we were still able to see a bit of the area. Overall, it was a great experience!

The stay with Muriel and Tierry was very pleasant. The tasks were always clearly explained and absolutely manageable. We always worked within the agreed hours. We had a really great room to ourselves with a private bathroom. There is no public transport in the home, so you can't easily get around from there. Muriel sometimes took us on trips so we could get out and see a bit more. The food is super, super delicious and always freshly cooked. There is plenty of variety, and the meals are very meat-loaded. The dogs are incredibly sweet, and it's never boring with them. Thank you for everything!

Volunteering at Muriel and Thierry's home became one of the best experiences of my life. They are both very open-minded and treated the volunteer staff like family. Thierry is an exceptional cook—better than many professional chefs—and he prepared delicious meals for us every day. Muriel has such a warm personality, and she always respected the volunteers, which allowed me to work with joy. I sincerely hope to have another opportunity to volunteer with them again. Thank you so much for this truly wonderful experience!!

Estar en este castillo es una hermosa experiencia donde puedes sumergirte en la cultura de Francia. Muriel y Thierry son personas maravillosas, amables y muy atentos. Aquí no te faltará la buena comida. Sus perritos son encantadores, sacarlos a pasear es muy lindo porque puedes relajarte al ver las vistas tan bellas que hay. Sin duda regresaría <3
