The Experience

In spring and summer I mostly need help with housekeeping and in the kitchen. There's also maintenance, renovations, and yardwork. There’s a long to-do list with a wide variety of task so you have options, though housekeeping will be the priority when there are B&B guests. Please be autonomous as I'm already very busy and won't necessarily work on the same tasks as you - but please ask questions! FYI I'm American, but speak French as well.

This one was the best experience I've ever taken, I enjoyed the work I had to do and how Lisa gives you the freedom to bring things to the table when working in something. The place is so cozy and stunning if you enjoy the arquitecture as well the quietness as its town is like that, a walking place with a huge history in every corner, so grateful with Lisa for being so kind to me. 🤗

It was my first volunteering experience, and I feel very happy and grateful to Lisa. She is an excellent host with a wonderful home that transports you into the history of France. The tasks were enjoyable, and she was always patient when explaining things to me. Thank you for everything, Lisa! You'll always be in my heart.

Lisa was an extremely amazing host. She's always open to talk to about anything and always so appreciative of any help she receives. She made us feel welcome during the entirety of our stay and always made sure everything was going smoothly for us. She would recommend things to do in town, as well as other places we could visit on our days off. She is an amazing host and I recommend this experience to any Worldpacker who is interested in staying here.

I really enjoyed the countryside feeling combined with the town facilities at the home's location. It is quite easy to reach from Paris and exploring the town was also a great activity we enjoyed. Staying in a château was a completely new experience for me, and I loved every minute of it. Lisa is a very kind person, and I was happy to help her with any work she needed. I wish her all the best in continuing to build her dream, and I can't wait to see it grow!
