I'm very happy to tell you, this experience has been very rewarding and positive. Fabianne and Eric are two of the most amazing people I've ever met. Really easygoing, they welcome you as part of the family, i loved all the lunch's with them and we could communicate really easily. They helped me to improve my French and as this was my first experience in WP I can't expect less of the next volunteering programs I will apply. I definitely recommend you come here and learn from them, enjoy this time and work on the camping, there's lots of things to do but they explained very clearly everything

Fabienne and Eric are such kind people and wonderful hosts. I had an amazing two weeks with them in their campground. My tasks were clear and were actually meaningful to helping Fabienne and Eric prepare the campground for the upcoming summer. They were also very flexible in allowing me to move my work times and days off so I could spend more time exploring in the afternoons. They are very knowledgeable about the area. If you enjoy the outdoors, you'll love it here! I'll most miss our lunches altogether and feel like I now have a family and a home in the Pyrénées!

My stay with Fabienne and Eric was soooo good! They are very kind and caring people and always make sure that you're comfortable and happy. Also the family and other people at the camping are great. I enjoyed improving my French here. Also the area is beautiful. Lots of magnificent places to visit. The work is not hard and it's always clear what is expected of you. I enjoyed the dinners in the evening together with everyone and the food is really good :) I highly recommend this place!

I had a fantastic experience here. Fabienne, Eric and the whole team are all kind, amazing people who run a brilliant campsite. They were all incredibly patient with my lack of French, and made so much effort to make sure I also felt included and welcome even if I couldn't always understand fully! The work was varied, simple and always explained well. Work started at 9/10 and last for around 3 hours. The rest of the day was then completely free to do whatever you wish, whether that heading to the gorgeous village or swimming in the campsite river (which I did daily!) 100% recommend!

Fabienne & Eric were amazing hosts! They always made sure I had everything & went out of their way to help. They are two of the kindest people & their family are so kind also. The work itself was manageable with clear instructions. The working hours were very good with a nice amount of free time. Lunch was amazing every day!! The location was beautiful & peaceful, perfect for nature lovers. There are plenty of hikes & the train station is close. They were very accommodating to my level of French ☺️. I would highly recommend this experience & will definitely be visiting in the future! 😊

Fabienne and Enrique are very kind people. Very gentle and amable people. They were always worried if I was comfortable, if I was enjoying the job, if I was eating well. We spoke a mix of languages to understand each other and it was very funny 🤣. I learned a lot about the history and the culture, and also they were very patience to teach me french. The region is extremely beautiful, and I could visit many places in the weekends. I'm very grateful for Fabienne and Enrique, from the bottom of my heart, it was amazing days❤️ Merci beaucoup ❤️ for everything!I hope I could come back someday😊

Fabienne and Eric were amazing! They are incredible people who were very patient with my lack of French. They were very clear on what needed to be done and were happy to adapt and accommodate to any challenges or difficulties that arose. Additionally, they went out of their way to drive us to train station, climbing crags and grocery stores. I would highly recommend that you stay with them if you enjoy the outdoors, painting, and repairing.

I loved my time here in the camping : Fabienne and Eric are welcoming, kind and well organised (Fabienne's cuisine is amazing!) and the camping is immersed in nature, with mountains, hiking trails and a river. The work isn't heavy or complicated, and I had fun helping the family preparing for the opening season. I had free time and the opportunity to visit around a little thanks to them, and I'm grateful for my time spent here. I hope to be back soon!!

They cancelled my stay after only three days, because apparently I was not as qualified as the other volunteers. I told them I had no previous experience but I was willing to learn and improve, but I do not feel they were patient or understanding people. I recommend this experience only if you've done similar work before because the hosts are more demanding and in my opinion not as nice as they appear to be. As a sidenote, the tent is located near a loud river and a highway, and contrary to what was promised, we only had lunch together, not dinner. But the surrounding area is nice to visit.

Les volontaires qui viennent au camping sont polyvalents et n'ont aucune qualification et nous ne demandons aucune qualification, juste de la bonne volonté...
Nous comprenons que le bruit de la rivière puisse déranger certaine personne cependant il n'y a pas d'autoroute a proximité.
Comme convenu nous avons partagé tous les déjeuners et nous vous avons acheté la nourriture pour les petits déjeuners et les diners.
Il y a eu aussi un problème de comportement dans la tente dans le partage de la nourriture et l'hygiène.
Toutes ces difficultés nous ont contraintes à mettre fin à cette expérience et c'est malheureusement la première fois que cela nous arrive.
