We are a family of 2, living in a pretty little house located in Provins, a medieval city classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and would love to welcome a volunteer for an enriching cultural exchange. We really enjoy music and cultural outings.

Program Details

The organization of the day is as follows:
I'm not an early riser, so I'll let you go about your personal business most of the morning. You will be autonomous to make your breakfast, everyone will take care of their own.
Lunch will need to be prepared for noon.

The afternoon is free time for you, and you can enjoy the city and its little treasures.

You will take care of the evening meal for 7pm.
After eating, you can enjoy your quiet evening, but if you like to play games, I'm all in!

I expect a daily presence every day from Monday to Friday inclusive. Please, note this, and this is a very important point. If you want to visit Paris, you'll have the whole week end to do so. Sunday is a day of rest, we will prepare the meals ourselves. Unless you absolutely want to do it :)

Activities & Shift

The pace of our house is very quiet, close to that of the holidays, ideal for a person who needs to recharge his batteries and spend time with family :)
But that said, we also appreciate that our volunteers not consider our shift as a more or less free airbnb. Proactive volunteers baking cakes to please everyone are really appreciate. So if you’re with us only to save money on your trip and doing the bare minimum, please understand that this is not the kind of profile we are looking for.
We particularly appreciate volunteers who are smiling, cheerful, dynamic and full of initiative, while remaining discreet despite everything.

Rules

Important to note:

- We expect our Worlpackers to be hygienic both on themselves and in their environment. This includes cleaning the kitchen after meal preparation, floors included if necessary. And have a high level of cleanliness in the bathroom, especially the toilets.
- We won't tolerate the consommation of drugs and alcohol in the house, unless we share a glass of wine or beer with you during the meal. Outside of this, please respect this rule specifically or we will have to put an immediate end to your staying.
- Please bring a personal pair of slippers.
