I had a wonderful stay at KMC the Center. I met many great people, learned a lot about Buddhism and the the Center, and got to practice my French. My work consisted of working in the kitchen and cafeteria but there are other tasks in gardening and housekeeping as well. Hours were always well respected and communication was great. I had a lot of free time that I spent talking with teachers, retreaters, and other volunteers. The grounds around the castle are beautiful and I felt entirely at peace during my stay. Would highly recommend!

I'm very grateful for the days I spent here! The work is easy, the schedule is respected, and the people who work at the Center are always very kind. I was able to learn a bit more about Buddhism and reconnect with nature! The place is beautiful and the food is delicious. I highly recommend it and hope to return someday :)

It was a very unic experience. I got to meet some really inspiring people, and the place was so beautiful, clean and comfortable. I could spend much free time, reflecting, pondering and learning. It was really a moment of full peace in my life, in my mind and of much reflexion. Thank you so much the Center team for having me and for teaching me so many principles and virtues. I loved to meet you all, and it was a pleasure to share some of my own culture and language.

My time here was a wonderful experience- it is a beautiful place to be surrounded by nature and to meet amazing people. Tasks are clear and work times are respected, and I also really appreciated the flexibility in positions and got to work with great teams in both housekeeping and the kitchen. A memorable time that I will carry with me for the rest of my travels! :)

I had an amazing experience at the Center. The monks and residents I worked with were very kind and friendly. The volunteers were amazing. I made new friends I will cherish forever. The accommodation is great and the food super delicious. It's a great opportunity to connect with nature, learn French, learn about the culture. It's not a hostel energy, you won't find a party life. But, if you want to experience connection with others and nature in a peaceful atmosphere, don't hesitate to apply!
