Program Details

Maison Loire offers volunteers the unique opportunity to live in a historic property in the heart of France's "Valley of the Kings," while helping guests embrace the culture of discovery and appreciation for beauty at this luxury bed & breakfast and center for culture and wellbeing.

Maison Loire is located in the heart of the Loire Valley, a region renowned for its historic castles and concentration of vineyards. The maison is perched at the top of a hill in Blois, a historic town famous for its magnificent chateau–-the residence of numerous French kings from the 13th to the 17th centuries. Within a half hour drive sit many of the region’s most famous chateaux, vineyards, and charming towns. Meanwhile, the Blois train station and city center are each a five-minute walk from the maison.

Activities & Shift

The primary responsibility of the volunteer is to develop a social media strategy and content calendar for the 2025 tourist season (April-November). This will consist of capturing, organizing, and selecting digital content, drafting captions, and scheduling posts. The secondary projects is taking care of the mini golden doodle named Siddhartha when the owner is absent.

After the shift, volunteers and Nicolas collaborate on cooking meals together. Afternoons offer free time to explore the city and its surroundings on foot or by bike. Volunteers take one day off per week for excursions.
