I don't think I can put into words how much I loved this experience. Spending time in La Souche with Maud, Swann, and their family was incredibly special. They are the sweetest and most accommodating family. This was definitely one of my best experiences on WP. La Souche is a cute and quiet town that's perfect for spending time in nature whether it was swimming the home river or hiking with Swann. The work wasn't too difficult and Swann is very patient, clear, and helpful in explaining the tasks. I will definitely miss it (especially Maud's cooking!). Merci infiniment !!

My wife and I helped Maud and Swan for a week and it was a great experience. We had a nice big private room with and attached bathroom and shower. We had access to a stocked kitchen to make whatever we wanted and the hosts provided food and ingredients. They were both very friendly and great to work with. Swan took us on a local hike one of the days up the mountains and it was a beautiful area. I would definitely do it again if I could .

I loved my time at La Souche so much! Maud and Swann are incredible, kind people and they really did everything to make the volunteering experience fun and easy. The work was rewarding and very well explained by Swann, with a good coffee break and the most delicious lunches by Maud. The village and landscapes of the area are incredible too. I'll always remember this experience and I can only hope that I'll be back in La Souche one day to see the completed house :) Thank you so much Maud and Swann for everything!

Maude and Swan has both souls. It was my first experience with this app and I am happy that it was them whom I have encountered. I loved the view of the home while we were working.

I had a great time volunteering here, without a doubt one of the best experiences. Maud and Sawn made me feel at home; they are very kind and admirable people, as are the children. The work isn't hard, you learn new things, and the hours are very convenient. As well as I had the opportunity to practice my the home. Besides, the place is beautiful, with incredible views, and the local people are very friendly. I would definitely go back.

Maud and Swann very flexible, fun and patient with volunteers and teaching the technical parts of the job. They also took us to nearby towns for fun sometimes. Work hours were from 7am-12pm to avoid the heat and they respected those hours. Private rooms, lunch and groceries were provided to make our own meals for breakfast and dinner. We were many volunteers so the exchange between volunteers was a great part of the cultural exchange as well. It's a very small town so it's really a time and space to enjoy the nature (swimming the home river, playing football, table tennis).

Unfortunately world packers only allows for a 5 star rating... this experience deserves 10. The hosts Maud and Swan are very accommodating, generous, worldly and interesting people who make a huge effort to ensure the volunteers are well and enjoy their stay. Without a doubt this is one of the best experiences on the wp platform.

It was an awesome experience, the job it's not hard after you get the hang of it, and the hours are perfect. Maud and Swann are kind and amazing people that are very easy to be around. The village it's small, but amazing for those who want to disconnect of the world.

The best volunteering I've ever had, the tasks can be kinda scary at first, but the hosts explain pretty well what you have to do and you get used to everything, it turns into a really fun job actually Also, having others volunteers with you is the best to understand and share knowledge about other countries too The communication between me and the hosts was something really important imo, since this was the key to improve my job and abilities, it allowed me to understand what I can do better and their honesty is very helpful
