The Experience
Hello Worldpackers! We are Alexandra and Marc, a creative artist couple living in a large, elegant riverside mansion less than 1 hour from Paris. We’re currently transforming a section of our home—an old kitchen—into a fully functional bathroom, and we also plan to install a small kitchenette in another area. That’s why we urgently need someone with solid, hands-on plumbing experience to help us complete this exciting renovation.

I've been in Dreux as my first worldpackers experience, and it was lovely. Sasha and Marc are so kind and it was great meeting them. The tasks are mainly cleaning and reconstruction, and the amount of work is well balanced. Sasha is very patient and cooperative with the work. The place is magnificent, the house is huge and very pretty. Dreux is a beautiful but small town, but with 1 hour of train you can be in Paris. For me the others volunteers made a huge difference, they were lovely. I would recommend!!

Volunteering at Sasha and Marc's was amazing! The house is full of art and charm, with a river running right by and grapevines in the garden. I helped with painting, wood finishing, cleaning, and organizing — which I love doing. Some tasks needed pro skills, but I managed with a bit of guidance. Having a clear timeline would definitely help avoid misunderstandings and make the experience smoother for everyone. All in all, it was an awesome opportunity! I really felt like I contributed, and I'm sure future guests will love all the little touches we worked on with so much love. 😊

Working on Sasha and Marc's life project is a very comfortable experience, despite the work being intense, mainly focused on renovation, organization, and cleaning of the house. The entire space is very elegant, peaceful, and inspiring. It's located right in the center of Dreux, offering the opportunity to get to know this charming small town. Sasha and Marc are very kind and respectful of agreements. Speaking French can make communication easier, but it's not a barrier.
