I'm extremely happy and grateful for my first volunteer experience here. I initially planned to stay three months, but quickly fell in love with the project and asked to extend my stay. This place is an ecological oasis filled with art, and visited by people who aspire to a better, united world. The meals, mostly vegetarian, are delicious and made with fresh, locally grown vegetables. Flexibility is key, as tasks change weekly depending on guest flow. During free time, you can enjoy the natural pool, explore nearby areas using electric bikes, or take lifts to the train station and visit cities

I am very happy to have had the opportunity to volunteer in such a beautiful place with an incredible energy. This was my first volunteering experience and Ruby and Dimi have truly built an impactful place. The connection with nature and the other volunteers was very strong to me. The work at the house was tiring but manageable and the meals were mostly vegetarian and really good. I learned many things that I'll carry with me for life and met wonderful people whom I hope to see again. Thank you for the time I spend there and I hope to come back someday! 🥰💖

I had a wonderful time! The hosts created a truly magical place with the Manor House, the large gardens and the natural pool. Environmental awareness is lived through and through and I learned a lot about environmentally friendly growing techniques. The gardening was so fun and enriching. We lived closely with the very kind and hard-working permanent stuff who, among other things, provided us with phenomenal food. The volunteers live in a large dorm in an old barn which is not really closed off to the outside. However the lack of privacy meant that we grew very close as a group. I'm thankful!

I would definitely recommend this place ! The food is amazing, often vegetarian. When I arrive, there were not a lot of guests, I was a little bored. However, it's actually an ideal place to experiment with the degrowth economic theory. I helped with dishes, laundry & ironing. After that, I did photography and and social media for 2 weeks.The volunteer's room is a modest dorm, a little cold if the weather is cold. There are mosquitos, be aware. You can go to Toulouse or Carcassonne. The natural pool is amazing ! It was overall a great experience ! Great place to connect with nature !

Staying at the project has been the best worldpackers experience I could ever hope for. Ruby and Dimi are such amazing hosts who make you feel welcome all the time. Sarah, Tricia, and Jade are incredible and Jade makes amazing food! The tasks are enjoyable if you are someone who is willing to help out with lots of different things, and the property is an amazing place to spend time in. Ruby has created a little fairy forest that is a magical world hidden from the outside. I was only meant to stay 3 weeks but it's going to be 5 as I have fallen in love with the project family ❤️

I am really grateful to call this my first workaway experience, everyone was super welcoming, open minded and loving right from the beginning. I had the chance to build unforgettable friendships, have great talks, eat amazing food and spend my free time enjoying Ruby and Dimis beautiful and inspiring place. The work is uncomplicated and manageable, they respect your workhours and as soon as you get to know everyone it feels good to be able to help. The accommodation was very great as well, you just shouldn't be too finicky. Thank u all for this truly magical time <3 I hope to come back soon.

I can't put into words how incredible my 3 months at the project were. I made the most amazing friendships and always felt appreciated and like I made a difference. The work hours are perfect and always flexible if you want a day off/go on a trip. It can be busy especially at events and there will always be tasks that are less enjoyable but they're quite flexible with what you want to work on. The food is made by an in house chef and it's SO GOOD! You can buy your own snacks etc at the local supermarket that you can bike too. There are a lot of cool places to visit in the surrounding area. 🤍

The project was my first volunteer opportunity, and I'm not sure if I'll ever experience something like this again! I really felt like I was part of a family. Ruby and Dimi are the kindest hosts ever, Jade and Trich are so lovely and cared for all of us, and I made friends there that I hope to keep for life! the the project is amazing, I was able to learn a lot! The work isn't hard, the hours are respected, and the communication is very open and clear. Thank you, Ruby! Hope to come back soon <3

It's a very peaceful place with a clear purpose. Being around Ruby is incredibly inspiring due to her energy and unique perspective on the world. I loved it and hope to return in the future with more time and plans to develop a project together.
