My time with Agathe, Clement, and little Basile was nothing but welcoming. They truly welcomed me into their home with open arms, delicious meals, and local knowledge. I learned so much about sustainability and eco conscious living. I highly recommend this position for anyone who is looking to slow down and really immerse themselves in the local community and live a slow rural life for a few weeks. I even got to learn a bit more about French culture and learn a few French words. weeks. The work is straight forward and they appreciate any assistance they can get. Overall a very enjoyable stay

Agathe & Clement made me feel like family. They are so kind and friendly. We worked on building up the garden, weeding, cleaning the house. They are very flexible with the work that needs to be done. I learned so much about sustainability and was able to practice speaking French! They also took me along for some great hikes and have the best recommendations for the area. There are so many kiwi birds in the area. You'll almost certainly hear one or two at night.
