The Experience

Nice place in the Morvan. A lot of animals. You will help for very différents things. I live in Robin in a beautifull place of seven hectares surrounded by forests and fields in the middle of the natural Park of the Morvan with small woodhouses, gypsy house , sauna, small lake and animals . The place is located closer to Autun, historic city. There is also near there, the bibracte montain, the biggest archéologic center from europe. Welcome

The community was incredibly kind, welcoming, and patient throughout my stay. He went out of his way to ensure I was comfortable, not just with the work but also with my living quarters. He genuinely cares about your overall happiness and well-being. His warm and friendly nature makes you feel as if you've known him for years. It truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend!
