Valerie, you are an amazing person inside and out. Generous, kindhearted and genuine. The kind of person you want to have in your life for years to come. Aquarius in Cassis not just a volunteer experience, it is an opportunity to be part of a family. The work itself is not hard, you will have another volunteer to share it with. You will be fed plenty, and have time to see the beauty of the south of France. Cuddly cats to snuggle with before bed, a scenic view to wake up to, and even have opportunities to learn and practice some French. I will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you ❤️

I loved every minute of it. The village is the cutest thing, surrounded by nature, hiking spots and easy access to Marseille. Valerie is the most beautiful soul and makes everyone feel special since the first day. I'll miss her and sleeping cuddling Mia 💛

My wonderful Jess, it seems I can’t write a review so I will do it here. Y you ou are the kind of person to whom one could trust one’s business and be sure that everything will be taken care of in the best way possible.
Of course I miss you and I must say that Snoop and Mia think the house is empty 🥹💕

I spent a month in Aquarius and I can say it was a beautiful experience. The place is absolutely stunning and charming, you'll have time enough to explore the surrounding villages and Cassis' breathtaking nature spots. The energy that Aquarius conveys is just extraordinary, guests are super friendly and always willing to have a conversation with you. Valerie is incredibly generous and understading, she really makes you feel at home from the very firt moment. If you want to get to know the french culture, staying with Valerie is the perfect way to immerse yourself in it!

My time in Aquarius was magical, you can feel the good vibes just as you enter🌈✨Valerie is amazing, open and generous, she makes you feel at home all the time. The task are easy and enjoyable, doing the rooms, preparing the breakfast and chatting with the guest. There's enough time to go to the beach, the home at the pool or go to Les calanques (please don't forget to go). Thanks you Valerie for welcoming, you now how happy I was there🌺🌻 ❤️

APPLY NOW!! There is no way to fully describe the wonderful experience I had. Valerie is the most generous and loving host I have ever had through worldpackers. The house is so wonderful, you can really feel the love and care she puts in it. Meeting travelers that the home there is so fun, having breakfast in the morning and taking about our days. Valerie introduces you to different places, her friends, and the culture in cassis. The town itself is so cute with beautiful beaches and the national park. Work is done early so we have lunch then you have the whole day. Thank you sm Valerie ♥️♥️♥️
