My experience with Worldpackers in Labaroche with Thierry and his family was absolutely amazing. From the moment I arrived, they welcomed me so warmly that I truly felt like part of the family. Thierry is incredibly kind and respectful, always making sure I was comfortable and even taking me to visit the beautiful villages around. The house and my room were very cozy, and he was always attentive to buying anything I needed. The work was smooth and enjoyable, since we didn't have many guests, I mainly helped with simple tasks around the house. I highly recommend this place to other members!

My experience with Thierry was great! He is a nice host who will happily show you around Colmar and Strasbourg and be very patient to help you practice french. I had the opportunity to meet his whole family, his workplace, his family business, join him at the supermarket, and so on. He really integrates you into his life. The house is on top of the hill, so be aware that there are only very few buses to Colmar during the day, but he always offers a ride! The workload is light and I could easily balance it with my remote work. I would recommend this experience :)

One of the best experience that you can have. Thierry was very supportive and caring, he shows you around and tells you places to visit or how to get there. The task where normal tasks as are describe in the announce. As a recommendation try to have some level of French so you can have a better communication with the family and you can inmers even more in their culture I would definitely return if I have the chance with a better French Thanks a lot Thierry and Jules and the whole family!

I really enjoyed my time in Labaroche, Thierry and his whole family were super friendly and welcoming! Tasks were easy to complete, accommodations were above my expectations and meals were always delicious. I visited lovely towns and got to practice my French a lot, so in conclusion it was a great experience!

I really enjoyed my stay at Thierry's home from start to finish! He's a kind and patient host as he helped me practice my French and showed me the French way of life. I felt welcomed from the moment I walked into his home and Im truly grateful for my time spent in Labaroche!
