I had a wonderful experience staying with this amazing Homestay. She made everything easy and welcoming for me. She provided delicious meals every day—including incredible cakes—and made sure I felt at home. I also had the chance to meet two other volunteers, and we got along very well working as a team. One of the highlights was when she brought me to Paris such a kind and generous gesture. The place in Bédanne was peaceful and quiet, with a beautiful river right in front, perfect for relaxing and recharging.I also learned so much during my stay, especially working her robots

Nushka is so kind and welcoming! She is always lookng out for you and making sure you are feeling comfortable. She is very opened to adapt on how you work best and gives you feedback in a kindly way. Her place is beautiful and you have your own amenities. Also she is a great cook and is always trying new delicious dishes! Also the dinner chit chat is always so much fun! The working hours are always respected and overall is a great experience! Thanks a lot Nushka! :)

dearest Paco.. You’ve been a joy to have around. I truly appreciated your politeness, your commitment, and your presence. It’s not always easy to feel at ease with someone who enters your life unexpectedly, but the comfort I consistently felt with you is a true reflection of your upbringing and the respect you’ve shown for my space at all times.. You are always welcome back in the future, i shall be a simple call away. Take care.

I had a wonderful time staying with Noushka! The food was delicious, and she was always thoughtful and attentive to what I liked, which made me feel really comfortable and cared for. She's a lovely person, and we had a lot of fun together! The house is beautiful and very comfortable, a perfect place to feel at home. I also really enjoyed working with the other volunteer, Paco — we made a great team. I honestly didn't want to leave because I had such a beautiful and meaningful experience there. Thank you so much, Noushka, for everything!

My dear Julieta , we felt your absence , your laughters , and your kind presence immediately after you left . It was truly a joy to have someone so positive around . Each time I get into the kitchen , I try to follow your steps , in keeping the kitchen perfectly tidy and immaculate . Thank you for your contribution . Take care of yourself and you know anytime in France in Paris or Normandie you know who to call ., there will always be a place for you and your family in our properties .

Beautiful property with potential, but the experience didn't fully meet my expectations. While I don't want to harm anyone's profile, I believe in honesty for future volunteers. Communication was inconsistent, Thepromised high quality meals were mostly toast, egg crepes, and tuna fish sandwiches and better dinners. I signed up as a web developer but the real need was housework. The host has kind moments, but outbursts and misplaced frustration made the environment challenging. The other volunteer and I left early, but meeting them was a highlight. I hope this helps set realistic expectations.

U get a private bed&bathroom&food, but the experience was a nightmare for us after a week. The host promised quality meals but gave us canned tuna sandwiches and burned toasts with moldy mermelafor days. When I asked for different food, she got upset. Tasks included cleaning her personal mess, which we refused, leading to her screaming at us. She alwys says "people play lots of money to stay there".. it'd be scam! She refused to drive us to the bus, we had to take Uber. She was unstable, often yelling and calling me "Natalia" her dougthers name, bc after the conflict she said I was likeher..
