I'm really happy about this experience! I felt comfortable from the very beginning of my stay and it was lovely to get to know the host, his dog Lola and friend Rob. the host always makes sure everything is okay and checks if you need anything. He's really thoughtful, and I'm grateful for our conversations. I learned a lot and gained a better perspective on things. The nature and the village around are beautiful, with lots of nice places to visit. The work was totally fine, nothing too hard, and the host is always ready to help if you need anything. I can only recommend!! 🫶

This was my first worldpackers experience and it set the bar very high! the host shows true care and compassion towards his volunteers. it is not just a work exchange, a true community relationship is built. i was not expecting to feel so welcomed and at home in a small, south of france village. as for the work, the host plays to the strengths of each volunteer, will switch up the work to keep it from getting to repetitive and will teach you a few new skills along the way. the project is very cool and he is very open to design input on the house!

The host was very friendly and generous, and we were pleased with the work overall. Unfortunately, we had to end our stay early due to a significant flea infestation involving both the house and his dog, which also affected us directly. As a result, our dog developed a severe flea infestation with an allergic reaction. While we understand the nature of a construction site, we were disappointed that no form of compensation or meaningful support was offered, leaving us with very high costs for alternative accommodation and veterinary treatment.
