The Experience

We are restoring ecologically a earth house and looking after 2 hectares of land but we're not farmers. A vegetable garden and a tree-filled park, both organic and heavily inspired by permaculture. You will help create various types of mulch and see how effective it makes weeding when done properly. You’ll prune and maintain hedges and trees, reusing the cuttings, and assist in caring for a small forest.

Pascale and Christian were wonderful hosts! It's a great experience if you're looking to work in garden/relax in free time. Although it is far away from things, you have everything you need there. Although only lunch is cooked for you, you're provided with many cereals and other ingredients as well as a functioning kitchen. If you want anything you will just ask them and they will provide. If not, they drive you to the nearest supermarket or you can ride 1 hour with their bikes :) I was there for 2 weeks with another volunteer and 1 week by myself. Usually they only take 2 volunteers.

I really enjoyed my time with Pascal and Christian! The tidbits I learned about gardening and some of the food that was made is information I will bring home with me and use going forward. The work was rewarding and the cabin I stayed in was very comfy and cozy. Thankyou for having me!

I stayed with Pascale and Christian for a month. They are very nice and generous. The lunch was very good and we had nice conversations at lunch. I also improved my french a little with them and they recommended me places that I could visit and teached me about their plants. Thank you for that experience.

Staying with Christian and Pascale was such a memorable time for me! They have enormous knowledge of wild edible and medicinal plants and were so generous with their teaching and sharing. Their property is peaceful and serene, and connecting with nature, locals, and yourself is a huge part of this experience. Sharing meals was also incredible - learning about cooking plants, French cuisine, and having discussions over meals was so special. I highly recommend visiting these lovely people and this lovely part of France!

Unforgettable experience. I would like to thank Pascal and Christian for the opportunity, the teachings, patience, and attention, always willing and open to letting me be a part of this beautiful and well-maintained place. I also appreciate the experiences of the meals, always so special and delicious. Valuing simple and natural things makes all the difference. Muito obrigada ;)
