Being part of the hostel community has been one of the best experiences I could have had. From the moment I arrived, I received a warm welcome and a very comfortable stay filled with pleasant experiences, and above all, I felt right at home. I am truly grateful to each and every member of this wonderful family, always willing to help me and, especially, encourage me to improve my French. The work is completely flexible, and they are always ready to listen and support you in any difficult situation. I recommend this experience 100%. Thank you so much for everything, the hostel family! 🫶🏻❤️

I was very lucky to be accepted last minute and was there 2 months. The volunteer coordinator is amazingly welcoming and accommodating. I was incredibly well taken care of. I was given a comfortable space and fed 3 times/day. The hostel itself is beautiful and well maintained. The members of the community are all from different parts of the world and have lots to share. I enjoyed spending time with them all. It would be very helpful to speak French so that you can participate more in the community. I am not Catholic but still felt welcome. The work is easy but I recommend more days off :)

Everyone at the hostel is so welcoming and there is a lovely community that invites you into their lives. Each morning, you get to help with the breakfast and some housekeeping tasks, and then just after midday you share a lovely lunch and are free to explore Paris! And you get an entire day off each week. You share a comfy room with the other volunteer which has its own kitchen and bathroom. The brothers in the community are all so friendly and prepare delicious meals each day. And the French conversations are all so great. I had an amazing month in Paris - thank you the hostel :) Thank you Romel

My experience at the hostel was truly wonderful . I loved every part of it: the welcoming atmosphere, meeting guests, the salariés, who were all so kind, always making you feel comfortable. The community, I learned so much about them, like the value of service, also the food prepared by them is really great! I had the best roommates ever, Marine and Paula, who I will always cherish and love. The daily tasks are really simple and easy to make and you will be lodged in a studio shared with other volunteer which is great. Experiencing it all right in the heart of Paris was the cherry on top!
