The Experience

Hello and welcome! 👋 I live in a large, charming house 🏡 nestled in a small hamlet in the beautiful French countryside 🌾 — just 90 km east of Lyon and not far from the Alps 🗻. Geneva 🇨🇭 is only 1.5 hours away by car 🚗, so it's peaceful yet well-connected.

Our time with Anne in her beautiful home was wonderful. Anne is a generous and welcoming host who made us feel right at home. The hours were respected and we had heaps of time to explore the beautiful area. Would absolutely recommend!

Our stay with Anne was all we could have hoped it to be. She is a welcoming host and her cosy house will have you feeling at home in no time. The working hours were always respected and we had plenty of free time in the afternoons and weekends. We enjoyed meeting the lovely neighbours who welcomed us into the village and spending time outside in the forest. I would recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys nature, a remote setting and connecting with local community.

Anne is such an interesting, curious person and I really enjoyed staying with her and the other volunteers. The work is fair and she always checks so everything feels okay about the work. The food was great and it was really nice to both cook and eat the meals together. Beautiful house in a cute little village, close to nice walking paths and clear lakes. It really felt like spending time with family to stay at Anne's. I will always be very grateful for this experience, and hopefully will be back visiting sometime again! <33 I definitely recommend this position!

I really enjoyed the time I spend with Anne. I've been there for two weeks and it felt shorter and at the same time langer than that. Me, my friend and another volunteer helped Anne cutting trees and updating the camping space near her house, which wasn't to hard work. After lunch we had free time, which we spend reading, baking or exploring the area. Ether we or Anne cooked for dinner and it was always SO GOOD! We used fresh vegetables from the garden and dined the 'French way' which Anne explained to us. I can only recommend this experience!
