My stay with Lohane, Steve, and Ken at their chΓ’teau in Lot-et-Garonne was truly a warm and welcoming experience. They kindly picked me up in Agen when I arrived and made me feel at home right away. During my time there, I had an unexpected issue: my phone broke, and I needed to buy a new one and set up internet. With great patience, they drove me twice to Villeneuve, 15 km away, to help me solve everything. This gesture of care and generosity really touched me. The work there is very easygoing, with plenty of free time and full respect for the schedule.

I had a fantastic time staying with Lorraine and her family. From the moment I arrived I felt welcome and included. The work was very easy and never felt like work. I had my own room with a very comfy bed and lots of storage. Lorraine and her son Stevie took me out on multiple occasions for food and activities. It was really a heartwarming experience and I really wish them all the best. If you love the French countryside and good people this place is for you! Hope to see you guys again someday!!
