I spent 6 weeks here and it was incredible! Monique and Gerard are so welcoming and kind. I felt right at home from the beginning. Hours and tasks were made clear. They really want to make sure you are fine and comfortable with what you are doing. When they went to different towns and areas they always asked me if I wanted to go so I could explore. The conversations with them were amazing and with some of their help and patience I really improved my French! The garden was beautiful and I got to connect with nature while being there. I would highly recommend and 100% would come back and help.

I spent three amazing weeks in Monique en Gerard's botanical garden. They are incredibly generous, caring and sociable people. I learned so much about french culture, the language and gardening. They took me on little trips, helped me with everything I needed and made me feel very welcome. The work was not too demanding and the hours were respected. Monique and Gerard provide amazing meals and are always open for lively conversations :) It's the true french experience! I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy the french countryside or wants to practice their french.

I had a great two weeks with Monique, Gérard and all the animals. They are very kind people, always making sure you're doing fine, and they like to be social. If you want to improve your french it's the perfect place. The meals were fantastic and ofcourse the garden an their home is beautiful. I loved all the animals around the house; the dog, cats, a lot of peacocks, a swan, geese, an otter (I think). The work in the garden is different every day. Sometimes a bit harder, sometimes easy, but the instructions and the schedule was always fair and clear. I had a wonderful experience!

One of the best experiences in my life. I absolutely loved my stay here, the botanical garden is an absolutely stunning property and Monique and Gerald are extremely kind, I felt very welcome and as if I came to my own grandparents. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to experience French culture and life in the countryside. I would highly recommend this to everyone!!

I had a wonderful time here. I was touched by their kindness and beauty. It was like returning to my grandparents. I didn't expect it to be this good but they really made me feel happy to be born as a human being. I recommend it to everyone. It's a lovely place

It was an honor to work and live with Gerard and Monique. I genuinely could not have asked for better hosts and a better experience. I went to better my French, and it was a truly immersive experience--fully helped by their patience with me. They were so kind and generous in welcoming me into their home. I did not feel out of place at all! Meals were delicious and fresh; conversations were rich; they gave me tours of major sites in the area while also offering to drive and pick me up from bus/train stations to aid my solo travel; and much more. All in all, I felt incredibly well taken care of.

Bom, gostaria de começar agradecendo, a Monique e Gerar por me receberem tão bem! Pessoas educadas, gentis e muito simpáticas, me sentir em casa o tempo todo, super atenciosos e tranquilos. O lugar é muito bonito, com uma paisagem natural deslumbrante e belíssima, animais e rosas muito bonitas. Infelizmente tive que sair uma semana antes do intercâmbio acabar de fato por questão pessoal de saúde, mas gostaria de deixa minhas desculpas por não ter concluído e os meus agradecimento a família.

C'était une expérience magnifique. Monique et Gérard sont hôtes très accueillants et chaleureux, on peut apprendre sur n'importe quel sujet avec eux. Les conversations sur la table étaient très enrichissantes pour nous, on a appris sur la culture, la cuisine, l'histoire française et on a échangé nos connaissances sur les nôtres. Le travail était simple et on a jamais travaillé plus de 5 heures. Les repas incroyables aussi, Monique est vraiment douée. 100% recommandé

Monique et Gérard sont très sympas! On a partagé des expériences, des connaissances et notre culture avec eux ! On s'est senti très à l'aise dans le jardin. Les repas sont toujours délicieux et le travail pas compliqué du tout. Sans doute on a appris beaucoup et on a connecté avec la nature et tous les animaux qu'y avait. Un gran merci de nous avoir reçu! Bisous (le fromage et le vin nous manquent déjà)
