Amazing experience!! Totally recomended!! The work is very easy to do and the place is great!! The hours and the meals are well respected. They take you to know more the region too wich is so rich of small turistic places. And Carennac is such a beautiful small village, considered one of the most beautiful in France. By the way Gerry, Gerrard and Joshua are so amazing! Always playing, chating, joking and also always concerned with your well being!! Thanks so much for everything!!

My experience with Gerry and Gerard was great. Carennac is a beautiful place, full of history, it seems like a fairy tale. They are good people, they respect your free time and take you to see other amazing places. Super recommended!

This was Eudardo’s first experience so we wanted this to be a success for him. He is a very sweet kind individual, he takes on all the tasks you give him and was very proficient at managing client rooms and needs.
He liked invoking with family game but equally had time to himself.
Can highly recommend him for a similar role in the future.

The best of my volunteering! Gerry, Gerard and their son Joshua are beautiful and extraordinary people. They make me feel like family . I highly recommend volunteering if you are willing to commit to them and their bed and breakfast in the best posible way. Because if they give their best, the least a volunteer can do is give it back by fulfilling and committing to assigned tasks. Finding people like them renews the desire to continue traveling and meeting these kinds of extraordinary people. good luck in everything that comes! I will miss you very much, infinite thanks ♥️🥲🇫🇷🍀
